Deadlifts
Work-up to 505 x 3
Romanian deadlifts
225 x 2 x 12
Man, this felt good. I haven't deadlifted heavy in awhile and I was starting to crave getting back into them. I came into this session after work feeling VERY beat: some whole-body soreness was going on down into my bones, including my fingers, like when I'm sick or sleep-deprived. My neck is also tweaked, which I have a long history of doing from strict pressing, and it hurts to turn my head to the left side. For 500 to feel as easy as it did and then just call it at 3 was a welcome end to a rough-feeling night. The lighter weight on RDLs was the right call. My back was able to catch a break while I focused on maximally contracting the hamstrings.
There's a strongman competition 2 hours away from me in April that caught my eye, so I'll be reducing my calories to make weight for the 198 weight class. I weighed 205 this morning without a shirt.

Got (another) birthday celebration with George and Azzy in SF tonight.
