Deadlifts: 225x2x5, 315x2x5, 365x5, 385, 315x5
First day deadlifting "heavy" in a while. I've had very few sessions since the beginning of my injuries this year, and have been a bit timid. I worked my way up to 385, same as last time I deadlifted heavy before injuring my calves, but didn't have to grip in me to hit 405. I didn't want to use straps on the big singles as I don't like the way it exposes me at the start of the lift. I'd much rather walk up, take a few big breaths, tense, grip and rip.
When I was done the main event I did a few holds at 405 to work on my cardiovascular system. I did them just below the knees, off the pins, so that I still had to load up my legs to lift. I was just trying to expose the hamstrings less. and concentrate on being able to smoothly lock out and hold.

Sorry to ask you to verify, but the sunglass spammers have been going crazy.
