Deadlift 5/3/1 Cycle 3, Week 3

I have to start to admit that my assistance programming is a total mess but I think that I am improving it. I am trying to match body weight exercises to the big lifts and working on progressions and rep schemes and as soon as I have it all figures out I will probably move to something else.

Deadlifts were great today. Last week I was concerned about the number of reps I was doing on my last set so I planned to rest yesterday and improve this week. Mission accomplished. One more rep at a heavier weight. Looking forward to Cycle 4 next Monday.

• Warm Up: 5 minutes rowing

• Deadlifts: 5@125, 5@155, 3@190, 5@220, 3@265, 5@295, 5@235

**The last set of 5@235 was because I misread my card and did Week 2's 1st work set weight (220). Funny thing is that I did Week 3's # of reps (5) instead of Week 2's (3). Anyway, once I was done with my programmed work set (295), I went back and did 235 for 5 reps.
