My hands were still sore from pulling double-overhand on most of my worksets on DL on Monday.  Threw on straps and used chalk and got WAY more reps on the RDLs than I have been. Why not?  Doing the movement to build hams and glutes, not palms and fingers.  175X12 was my previous best with that weight.  Clearly blew it away with straps.

Good session.  Squat day geared towards building floor speed for Deadlift.

135X5X5 on Fronts was about as easy as I expected.  Focusing on maximum acceleration and shortening the rests made it a lot of work, but it doesn't seem like it would be a big deal to bump the weight a tad.

First time doing paused leg press.  Since I almost never do leg presses, I had no idea where the weight should be so I worked up.  4pps was moderately heavy on the worksets, but I was still able to focus on accelerating after the pause AND on keeping my back flat against the pad from my shoulders to my glutes.  That seemed important.  This was also done with a narrow stance a'la my deadlift stance.

Forgot to up the weights for RDLs and blasted through the 50 reps in only two sets.  Still, my glutes are way sore today.

Upped the weight a tad on single-leg press.  I might be able to go up to 2pps here.  Not sure.
