DL WO
Heavy: Singles
Wim'd the max out like a mother****er. Felt so good not to fail. It wasn't pretty and as soon as I started the pull my ass went up which is bad...got some good advice after " it's a dial, not a switch" which means that I should not just throw the switch and instantly pull at 100% (which is why, when the weights heavy my ass shoots up) but instead keep my ass down and dial up the strength as I pull.

Right knee was acting up...not sure why. Unrelated to lifting...may have twisted it and not realized.
Talked to my coach about reaching maximum genetic potential (which we both think I am getting close to doing) asked what can you do once you hit your max...
"watch it go down as you get older"

DL DAY
Once I get a DL to my knees I can lock it out. For whatever reason, I am weakest breaking it off the floor and when weight is heaviest, my hips pop up and the fulcrum shifts forward and out. To help me learn to focus on keeping my hips down and to improve my strength off the floor the coach had me do today's workout raised and added in stiff leg deadlifts.
Raising to a 2" deficit was definitely helpful and, even with a light weight, stiff leg deadlifts attack the hamstrings like nothing else I've done to date.
