Axle press 

Work up to 150 x 5 (clean first 3 reps), 5 (clean all reps), 5 (clean all reps)

Super-set with wide-grip pull-ups (unincluded work-up sets paired with first 2 sets)

8, 10, 10, 10, 10

* Had the idea to just combine the clean and pressing instead of keeping them as separated lifts. This is a good way to keep this press day fairly light without feeling like I'm doing nothing with low weight and reps. 

Clean and press away

135 x 10

Super-set with wide pull-ups

10

* Saw the deadlift bar I was setting up and just couldn't resist.

Deadlifts

405 x 5

435 x 5

* At first I couldn't break 405 because of how gunshy I was from feeling the pebble sensation in my spine. Took a short walk and came back to it, then hit 435 and my back felt much better.

30 each leg

Another good feeling day.

Foe my back, I'm researching firmer mattresses and due to how I've been feeling the past few days I'm going to either bring in the cheap spring mattress again or flip my memory foam upside down for its firmer side. Neither of those seem to make a big difference, at least immediately, but they didn't feel any worse and my current level of bed softness made my back feel worse last night. 

I'm also looking to get health insurance for the first time in forever to get my back checked out (not the first time I've written that in here, lol) and I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on the reverse hyper scout. I figure if I ever upgrade to the heavy duty model I could definitely use the foldable one in my living room.

I'm also reading the book Supple Leopard, and I pulled out my old copy of Low Back Disorders by Dr Stewart McGill.

But wait, there's more. I ordered McGill's newer books, Back Mechanic (which arrived today), and the one I'm really looking forward to that pertains specifically to powerlifters, Gift of Injury.
