*This was the best feeling deadlift set I've had in a long time.  It wasn't the amount of weight; it was the quality of the reps.  I felt in total control of the barbell.  The reps were slow, smooth, and performed in a calm manner.  It felt so good I just kept doing reps.

Notes
-Hamstrings were still sore when I was warming up during deadliftts, so I'm pleased with the session overall.  I'm really working on creating a huge amount of tension in my hamstrings/posterior before I initiate the pull.  When I actually inititate, its like a simple release of tension and the weight has nowhere to go but up.  I don't really get the sense that I'm "pulling" with this sort of setup.

-Good mornings are starting to feel better.  Next week I'll just start adding reps to 135.
