Texas Volume B 6/21/10

- Deadlift 5x225, 5x225, 5x225, 5x225, 4x235
- Press 5x95, 5x100, 5x100, 5x100, 5x95
- (Wide grip) Dip 5xBW+10, 5xBW+10, 5xBW+10, 5xBW+10, 5xBW+10

Holy shit, I should not do 5x5 deadlifts, ever, and never with bare hands and no chalk on a bar like the one at that gym. Cut both hands at the pinkies. Worse yet, I remembered afterward that today was supposed to be rows, not deadlifts. But yeah, first time working with that type of deadlift volume ever, and so glad never again. Pretty sure my bleeding hands were as important as my dying muscles in not picking up that bar a final time.

Presses were also pretty hard to do with shitty gripping, but I'd sucked it up by the last set, and my arms were annihilated. I think I could've done a lot more dips at more weight fresh, but damn, the gasping, the sweating, and the general fatigue. 'Feels good man.' Next time, rows and not deadlifts! Jesus.
