Warm Up

4 laps around track, Samson stretches, arm circles

Dead Lift

5x45#
5x65#
5x95#
5x135#
5x185#
3x225#
2x225#

The first sets were fine.  When I put the 45# plates on, it kind of sucked as the plates were those weird octogans with handles so when I set the bar on the ground, it would roll and I would have to reset my feet and grip.  Technique felt good.

Back Squat

5x45#
5x65#
5x95#
5x135#
3x155#
2x175#

I used my lifters and a belt.  All of the sets felt really good.  I like the squat rack.  I was going to shoot for 185#, but was a little worried about how I would manage a failed lift.

Finished with some jump rope work (drills, alternating feet, single-single-double)
