Notes
Rather tired and the muscles/joints were fatigued nicely. The higher weight went OK, but I will definitely be pleased to enter the last few weeks of the peaking phase. The deadlifts were OK, hard at the top, but that was the goal for the day. I followed this with Konstantinov style pulls, which are slightly hunched over, rounded upper back, with chin tucked. They felt pretty good. Its the first time I felt comfortable pulling conventional in my suit, speed was very quick, but they did hammer my mid-back. I will try them again on another day. I am also contemplating making up some 100mm platforms for the weights/standing on.
