Deadlifts (405x1)

Tues, 18 Aug 18

Hack Squats : 135x2x5, 225x2x5
Deadlifts: 315x3x5, 365x5, 385x2x2, 405x1

I was doing some reading about hack squats being good for priming the glutes for the deadlift.  I have to say I could certainly feel them, and interestingly I also felt them in my vastus lateralis.  I then moved on to deadlifts, and in keeping with the not beating myself into powder plan, I worked up to a heavy single and called it a day.  The 4 plates was heavy and required a bit of effort, but at no point was it grindy or hitchy.
