Notes
Positives: 225 squat with no pain. I'm still really weary. I'll go up another 20-30 pounds next session. In hindsight, I had more deadlift volume than I thought. My calves are noticably thicker with more shape as compared to 6 weeks ago. I easily have the worst calve genetics of all time. Its like they aren't even there. It takes a ton of burn to see any difference.
Negative: It was a good session until I doubled 495, which I really didn't need to do tonight. I forced it. It felt ok - not a max or anything. So I'm not really getting sore anymore, but I need to keep in mind that I'm lifting 6x a week and thus fatigued even if I can feel it. As such there is no need to be doing heavy doubles, etc.
At this point, I'm not sure what the deadlift is good for other than being a fun lift to perform. I can't wait to squat again with decent weight and volume. The squat is so much fucking better at building lower body strength.
