Low-handle trap bar deadlift - 310x5, 330x5 (x2), 350x3x3
A. Barbell pushups - +20 pounds x10, +40 pounds x10, +40 pounds x16+9 (one chain fell off, had to put it back on)
B. Chest-supported DB row - 50s - 4x10
Deadlifts were feeling pretty good; so good, in fact, I thought 380 and maybe 400 would be in the cards for my last set. But once I tried 350 I knew that wasn't happening. Really caught me off guard, because while 330 wasn't "light," it wasn't particularly heavy, either. Oh well, still got a few weeks to build up anyway. I'll need to make sure to use the chains with the carabiners on them to hold them on. I tried them on my first warmup set, but didn't like the fact that I basically had to make sure I didn't mash the chain between my chest and the bar. Again, I'll fix it next week.
I think I'm also going to move my more movement-based warmup I've been doing, with power speed drills and so forth, to the "off" days, and utilize a mobility and calisthenics warmup I've used in the past. It takes longer, and it takes some getting used to, but it really ups work capacity and I feel a lot better using it. I just need to accept that training may need to take longer than an hour. Get my shit done so I can utilize the time better.
