Notes: First day of BBB Beefcake, and, of course, I'm gonna add WAY too much assistance work to it.  So long as I do the main and supplemental work and the minimum RX assistance, I'm good with that, and can scale down as needed.  Going with Power bar on the 3s week.  Last time I've deadlifted with one was most likely at a strongman comp.  Stiff, but not as terrible as an axle.

It took a while for me to "come alive" during this workout, but on the second set of the BBB sets something woke up and I started ripping the weight off the floor.  Was pretty cool.  I think all this consistent work is gonna bring back the deadlifter in me.

Plan to hit some tabata trap bar sets later for conditioning.

Breakfast this morning was 3 cage free organic eggs mixed with 1/4 of an avocado and some grassfed butter, a "keto waffle" stick, and a 6oz grass fed piedmontese sirloin steak.  And, of course, an energy drink.

Got a photo of my starting condition.  No idea on bodyweight (thanks dogs), but at least I can document physique.
