Those DBSS were ridiculous. Felt so weak!
You'll get there mate.
Yep! Mine where bad enough after my session, let alone what you put them through

I can feel the DOMS kicking in already 
Form was spot on - had another 1 or 2 in the tank - but happy with those reps. It's equating to around 180 1rm - but not rushing yet.
1 more cycle and then I'll test my 1RMs. I'm hoping for 540ish.

Cycle 4 - 5 Rep deadlift Day
Getting excuses in early - I'm knackered today... Still the gym was empty so I did what I could.
Deadlifts:
Bar *lots
60*12
100*8
127.5 * 5
147.5 * 5
167.5 * 10
Ds 120*9
Form felt a little weak today - core felt a little loose.
Ah well, not bad enough to feel any twinges - but I was aware that there was a little bit of instability.
Pull ups:
Bw*6
10 *5
20*5
30 *5
35*3.5 (didn't quite get my chin over the bar on the last one).
Ds 10*6
Fat gripz db rows
34 * 6
34 * 6
36 *6
38 * 7
oh my forearm pump! Oh my, back pump! Felt pretty good despite doing deads and pull ups. It does cane your grip though as the DBs are quite fat, and the fat grip makes it VERY fat!
BB Roll outs
3x8
Hmm... maybe it wasn't a bad session, deads just felt a bit crap today.

That gives me a lower back pump just looking at it *shivers*
haha! That's only 5 rep day - it's not heavy
Why wouldn't I? 
Feeling sore in all the right places - especially lats and shoulders - love those DB rows!

Fat gripz do look interesting, may have to get some and work them into the back session.
LiE - next meet (if I ever get there) you can have a go see what you think.
