Deadlift Standing on Plate With Belt - x1 \ 3% \ 9-10 - Decided to wear belt for this max - Although I missed my last try at 700, the 670 felt really good - 670 was really solid and I am pretty happy about that, makes for a nice number to build on - Definitely had a few more lbs on the 670, but obviously not enough for 700 600x1 @8 670x1 @9.5 ->10 700 x0
Bodyweight: 279 lbs - Down about 2 lbs from this time last week - Hope to loose a little bodyfat without expending too much effort to diet. I think if I stay off Grandmas old cough medicine I should be able to.

Prehab/Rehab: - Side Lying External Rotation 10 lbs 3 sets x10 each - External Rotation Stretching - Spinal Traction: Front and Rear Bridges on SWISS for 60 sec each - Ab Wheel 2 sets x10 (Im sure you could get arrested in Iran for doing these) - Landmines 2 sets x10 with Olympic bar

Time: 16 Min
Deadlift, No Belt - x3 \ 3% \ 8-9 - Big PR today, had it coming though for a long time - Felt great, discovered my deadlift style is Quazimodo Style - I am starting to really like pulling heavy multiple times a week, previously I would sometimes dread it. 500 x3 @7 550 x3 @8 605 x3 @9 (PR) 585 x3 @9 (3%)
Time: Min
DB Military Press, Neutral Grip - Weights I use for this exercise are too light to make a difference with fatigue drops so I just did straight on RTS 80 x6 @8 80 x6 @8 80 x6 @9

Paused Bench (pinky on ring) - x3 \ 3% \ 8-9 - Not as strong today as last week in this exercise, but had pretty hard benching yesterday, so it is all good - Went for a PR but ended up being off and not even getting all reps - Should have discerned by my first set that it was not going to be a big day 315 x3 @8 340 x2 @10 (shouldnt have tried to jump today but was a bit greedy I guess) 325 x3 @9 (3%)
