Notes
Decided I wanted to move the hell on from the weights I've been using for a while.  Even though I've been using very moderate weight with RDL's and Pendlay's, I've been treating them as a main movement.  My thought on it is this:  these are probably the two most important barbell assistance exercises for my upper and lower body.  I want my reps and form to be perfect.  After this session, I believe I've patterned the movements well by staying super strict with high reps.

Pendlays were hard as fuck for 10 reps. Just very fatiguing on my posterior to stay down in that position.

RDL's I was just bobbing back and forth hinging like a mofo.  Smoothest hinge I've ever felt.  Its funny because yesterday I did some very basic hinge patterning with the KB, and then today it just felt so natural.  I'm moving the fuck on from 225 now on the RDL's as well.    I've been diligently using 185, 205, 225ish weight on these for months.  I feel solid, so I'm going to load them and see how it goes.  With my current routine, I see no downside to loading these movements as long as I'm getting quality reps.
