Worked late on Tuesday, so I wasn't able to lift. I still worked a little late on Wednesday, but I got out in time to slip into the gym and sneak in some deadlifts. Gotta say, I felt great. Had no trouble pulling 295 for 5 reps, and almost had to force myself to back down to 285 for the sake of patience.
As I've said, I'm trying to go slow and steady upwards so that I can blow through my deadlift PR of 325 for 5 reps. It's slow going, b/c I alternate deadlifting and squatting each week. With softball on Sunday's, my legs are always a little sore for a few days afterwards. It's tough to squeeze in both squats, deadlifts, and a day of crazy sprinting all within 7-10 days. In just a few more weeks I should be back up
Here are the sets/

That's it! As usual, I was rushed. The final game of the Knicks vs Heat was on, and I wanted to watch. Even though I knew they were gonna lose. I wasn't dissapointed!
In other sports news, the Mets are killing it right now. 5 in a row! Lets go METS!
