I got it on Monday evening. I reckon I’m about 5% stronger at night, having acclimated to the day or something. But can’t do it consistently.
DL; 3-200kg, 1-220kg@1?, 230kg@sub-5, 240kg@5, 250kf@6, 260kg@8, 270kg@9. 280 didn’t budge. Think I got in my head a tiny bit re: positioning. Also maybe should have gone 220-240-260-280 because it was clicking so well early on. Ah well, tomorrow then.
WG OBHP; 5-60kg, 3-80kg, [email protected].
Pull-ups; bw-15 reps.

Like Arnold, with mid—>upper back lean and full stretch
DL; 3-200kg, 1-220kg, 240kg@5, [email protected], 260kg@8, [email protected]. Moved a lot faster once it broke.
WG OHP; 5-60kg, 4x5-80kg@8. Making lower back feel less than great on right side, may need an alternate option.

Getting there. Going to do max single everyday, even though I probably stick to a double on Tuesday. Just want/need to see what’s in the tank.
Interestingly, this is only working because in not adhering to what you might call SS setup deadlifts. I can’t imagine trying to do this with hamstring DOMs everyday. So much stronger and more natural with a rounded back.
I keep coming back to what Brian Alsruhe says; within reason, if you brave correctly and hard enough, your back is going to be fine.
DL; 3-200kg, 1-220kg, 240kg@5, 250kg@7, 260kg@8, [email protected]. 260kg got away out front but was surprisingly easy to finish, rather than restart the rep.
Cable rows; 3x8-130kg.
Cable-crunches; 2x12-40kg. Found a good groove for these at last, reduced ROM with minimal movement at hips, abs only.

Had to take Soph to emergebcy at 3:30am. Turns out she has croup. Shit start to the day but she’s doing ok, thankfully.
DL; 3-200, 1-225kg@?, [email protected], 255kg@8, [email protected], 285kg@10. Erectors were on the verge of straining. Shouldn’t have pursued it but did, probably a very mild(est) strain or tender SI area. 1-225kg, 1,2-245kg. Just to make sure things were ok.
Cable crunches; 10-40kg, 2x8-60kg.
Leg raises 2x8. Hard when done correctly.
Plate delt raises; 4x8-20kg.
Going to leave out OHP for a bit, lower back is not enjoying it at all these days. Might work back in next week with belt perhaps.
Going back to 4 pull sessions a week. Just not confident I can recover for five straight.

DL; 3-200kg, 2-220kg, 2-230kg, 1-240kg, 1-250kg. 260kg wasn’t likely today given issue from yesterday.
Cable rows;4x8-130kg.
Hypers; 5-60kg.
Might do a bit more later on.
Afternoon;
1-220kg, 240kg, [email protected], [email protected].
Much better technique, might have a new cue figured.

Went back about 6hrs later;
1-220kg, 240kg, 260kg, 280kg. Just had to get it. Strain/SI is sorted.

Dealing with snapping hamstring tendon in left knee since Saturday evening. Extremely frustrating and pissing me off, had nothing in the mid-range of the reps today.
WG OHP; 5, 3x8-60kg. If I keep the load lighter then it doesn’t aggravate SI. Super wide grip might make the lighter load still matter enough.
