This thing sucked. If there are three movements designed to elicit poor performance from me, these are the ones.

Coffee

Notes:
Goal today on the deadlifts is to get at least 2 sets of five at 305. So, I'll probably do something like 275 - 290 - 305 - 305. This will likely slow me down for the rest of the week, but it will help my deadlift for sure.
Update: on the deads, I stayed at #185 while Jessica helped me with my form. Basically, I'm not keeping my back rigid on the pull, which is a problem. Key is to exaggerate the arch and make sure I'm pushing my chest out. I'm not sure how to handle this going forward but it seems like I need to take a few weeks and work up from #185. The core issue here is hamstring flexibility, which seems to really be the limiting factor for me in a lot of things, and I'm sure there's a muscle imbalance factor contributing as well.
