I took it relatively easy on Wednesday because of my failed attempt during shirted bench on Sunday. Did my 10-2 close grip starting at 85lbs and working up in 5s to 105lbs for the set of 2. Then I did ascending boards at 85lbs and it nearly killed me again. I had to rack and rest 15 seconds between the 2 and 3bd just so I could get it done.
Deadlifts started off poorly last night. My legs were still quite sore from Tues so I warmed up... stretched, dynamic work, mobility work... and still, as soon as I put 135lbs back down I pulled my inner thighs - EEK! So, I kept warming up... and I found as long as I didn't put the weight all the way to the floor, but rather, when the plates were about half inch to inch off the floor I just let the bar go, then I didn't get the pulling. It also meant that I was struggling to sit back into the deadlifts as well as I should have, because of that pulling sensation. I did get things done and pulled straps down triples at 275 and 295... tried 290 but I reset after the second and couldn't pull the 3rd. Part of it was in my head... I was afraid to hurt myself.
My legs feel less sore today although I will be resting lots, doing some easy walking on the treadmill after bench tonight and getting myself all recovered and ready for squats tomorrow :)
