505 x 5
405 x 8, 2
Plan was to deadlift 405 for 30 reps total and record the time, then improve that time next week. On the second set I felt something in my back that warned me I better shut it down. It's been feeling really crummy so I'm glad I got this done.
My back is an eternal battle. I wonder if I need a harder mattress. My previous one was a hard spring one but my back wasn't doing good on that. That one was really old, though. The new memory foam one isn't making a difference. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if I got checked out by a professional and was found to have some kind of chronic injury that I've just been training through, either.
The uplifting news is that I have good days, it just takes a lot of concerted effort to get there. I'll keep at it with different ideas, though.
Going to hold off on ab work until tomorrow after waking up and seeing how my back feels, don't want to worsen anything that's going to show up later by grinding out some standing ab wheel rollouts
