Notes: 3:45 between heavy deads, 2:00 between giant sets.  I am still pretty awful at top down deads, but the strength is greater on them.  I've definitely found the chink in my armor on them, because without the ability to set myself up to grind at the start of the pull, I can't really brute force through the pull, and HAVE to rely on technique.  Never woulda thought that was the case.  Remembered the trick to have the bar slightly rolled forward on the j-hooks so I could roll it into the straps and get locked in at the start.  Also focusing on taking small steps after the set-up and keeping my brace.

Came into this with some pain in my right glute/ham tie in and my left hip-flexor a little pissed off again.  Nothing crippling, but good to track on.

Ate well before this.  Pizza buffet.  I'm on the fluffier side, but at this point strength is moving well, I'm 20lbs below my weight class, and I got no real reason to be any leaner, so I'll ride it out.
