Ya I think I might be too strict on my form when I do them, so I'll loosen it up a bit and see how it goes. For some reason I am stronger on DB Rows and I use very strict form on them. I feel it way more when I do DB rows also. You do rows after DL? I did them before the other week and I found them a bit easier.

Yeah man just grip it and rip it, worry about form when you get strong with them. (I occasionally do a really strict set of 135x12 or something after the heavy ones) What's your BB/DB row? They're definately easier before! I'd be good for maybe 250-260 before deadlifts but I want my deadlift to be stronger nomsayin'?

Yeah, I definitely need to loosen up form on bb rows then. As of last workout, bb rows = 135x8 (can go up 5 lbs next workout), and DB rows = 75x8 (can go up 10 lbs next w.o), all strict form. DB rows just feel so much more natural to me. Its all strict form, so I'd imagine if I loosened up a bit I could get more, but I like to feel the squeeze at the top.

nice log man, looks like youve been getting good workouts in since you started this log - everyone makes lots of mistakes when they start, it seems like you have learned from them

First day of College Today! I'm doing civil and enviromental engineering and today was our initiation day. We pretty much just had a tour of campus etc. etc. I got to lift in the college gym afterwards! It is majorly awesome but 90% of the good equipment is reserved for the rugby team/athletics team training etc. Pain in the hole! I'll have to wait to join rugby when we go back for real I had a pretty good workout!

I was working for my dad today and as a result diet was really poor. I felt sick at breakfast and ended up having about two scrambled eggs and a piece of bacon, didn't eat again til around 5 o clock when I had a cheese and pickle roll (wtf is this ****?). I had 1.5 footlong subways and some coke on the way home and now I'm tucking into 3 slices of toast with PB and two eggs so it's looking up. I'm gonna try get some good sleep because whatever about diet, deadlifts will be insane tommorow. No ifs or buts.
If I have it in me I'm going for 382.5x3
Oh and I left my ****ing brand new chalk in my college gym (where we're incidentally not allowed use it) so grip will be the only thing that could slow me down!
