Well, I figured out my deadlift issue. I had been doing heavy KB snatch work on day 2...the day before my heavy deadlift work. I quess my thought was "how hard can a doing a few snatches with 70 pounds be?" Well, it turns out, this has been draining me. Last week, on the day before my deadlifts, I did 100 snatches with a 70 pounder. This equates to 7000 pounds of work! yes, this would drain you before deadlifting. Yesterday, I used only a 35 and did 210 reps. This equates to 7350 pounds of work (higher volume) but 1/2 the intensity (weight). This reduction in intensity really helped me today. last week 405 for 1 rep was "tough". Today it was a piece of cake. I banged out 2 reps with it and felt I could have done at least 4.
here's what I did today:
Deadlift- 135x3, 225x3, 275x3, 315x3, 365x3, added belt 405x1, 425x1, 405x2
Manta ray squat-225x2, 230x2, 235x2
Dips- 90x5,5,5,5
