I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real

I will let you down, I will make you hurt

Everyone I know goes away in the end.

a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

-When to the IM sports complex, they let me in for free since there was just about no one else in there on this Friday night
-Don't do front squats too often, but as you can see, they're a lot lower than my back squats... Not sure I like them too much lol.. I can go lower but I feel stress on my back whereas with back squats I don't have any.
-Arms/shoulders tomorrow, should be fun

Incline DB Press 80x5, x5, x8
Rack Pull 315x5, x5, x5, x5, x5
DB Hammer Curls 40x5, 45x5, 50x5


Notes

-Quick workout today, squeezed it in between two classes because I have an exam tomorrow morning and will be studying this afternoon/night. Also have an exam Wednesday morning... Might push Tuesday Lower Power till Wednesday depending how I feel about the material, we'll see..
-As stated before, Gym DBS go from 80lbs to 100lbs with none in between, so on the third set I just went until I couldn't anymore... next time Incline DBs come around I'll just see how many sets I can do 5 reps with...
-Went 'light' on Rack pulls as I just maxed out on deadlifts, give it a lil recovery time.
-shoulder still a lil 'odd' so I'm not doing any heavy presses with that, just yet.

Question to ALL

Does anyone deadlift off some sort of elevation or with 25's?

Reason being, my sticking point on deadlifts is off the ground... With Rack pulls, at the knee, I can pull 500+x5.. However off the ground is where I have the most difficulty... thus I was thinking of starting to deadlift with 25s so it'll be harder off the ground... think that will help increase it?

I have done both - using different box heights, as well as using lighter plates (but adding more to make up the weights) from the ground. Deadlifting off an elevation can be difficult if you're not flexible. Using lighter plates (but more of them to make up the weight) just takes the bar closer to the ground when lifting, not necessarily making it harder or easier to do the movement.
