Notes: 3:45 between heavy pulls, 2:00 between giant sets.  Went without straps up to and including the 515 set.  I was NOT feeling like I had any heavy pulls in me today.  Perhaps it was the run yesterday, or that I had been averaging 5 hours of broken sleep all week this week, but either way every set from 515 on felt HEAVY.  Somehow, I just kept finding more in me when I dipped in for it, but after that 705 set I was fairly confident I had used it all up, so I went back for 605 to see what I could do.  I could feel myself not getting my hips down on a few, but it's good to know I have that strength from different angles.

Still focusing on keeping my foot placement on the trap bar similar to the foot placement I would use on a conventional deadlift.  I had to focus on bringing the feet back together on the 605 set, because they kept wanting to come out.

Giant sets were rough.  Front squats are finally at just about the right weight.
