Good deadlift session today. This cycle has been the first that I've done dead-stop deadlifts starting with 425x5 (just hitting prescribed reps) in week 1, 455x7 in week 2, and today with 475x6, which went better than the 5 reps I expected to get, with a couple in the tank -- I need to get used to the fact that I can allow myself to take a few seconds, reset my grip and catch my breath with the deadstops. It's also fun to think that the impetus for getting on a program and starting 5/3/1 was because I was demoralized when I failed to budge a 460lb deadlift during one of my many misguided training sessions.
