Notes
-Deadlifts started to feel solid as hell tonight.  Low back strength is quickly improving.  This is my 4th beltless squat/or deadlift session in a row, and I actually noticed a difference tonight.  I chose to just stay at 385 and get some strong reps in.  Felt good.

-Assistance:  I hate every rep of good mornings.  Vastly prefer DB's for the split squats over BB.

-10 day Backloading induction phase starts tomorrow.  I have plenty of food, and feel like my head is in the right place to start this.  Tonight, I'm not worrying about anything and going to celebrate my birthday with friends.
