Notes
So much going on right now I almost feel guilty about working out.  Anyways, I'm just clocking some shit in right now. I'm not really getting after it in the way I wanted too on this program.

I started off with a 275x5 set because I thought I might be good for 8 reps.  I could have probly grinded 6-7, but I saw no point.  275x5 is my general baseline for bench.  I feel this is my 85% range.  It doesn't mean I'm really strong, but it means I'm sitting in a place where I could potentially start turning the heat up.

I'm going to see how everything turns out, but I can say that low rest/high rep deads 2x a week is probably an awful idea.  It might not be bad if you really paid attention to load.  But reverse pyramid style 10-15 rep deadlifts is just too much.  I feel broken down.  Tonight I wanted to do 100 pound curls, and something on my forearm felt like it was detaching.  I've never had that sensation before, but the only thing I could think about was that static hold for higher rep deadlifts fucking something up.
