Not going to formally post the session today, but just some notes instead.
I was beyond tired going in today. I think sitting in meetings all day and it being hot was not a good combo.
For deadlifts, I hit 315, and 360 for five reps. On the five plus set, I used 410 pounds. I got six reps, but it was literally to failure. I had to rest about five minutes before unloading the bar and rack my weights. So, that was good, weight wise, but my energy literally went to zero after.
I then did pullups and after, I had that weird discomfort in my left biceps again. If you recall, I thought I tore it last week. I felt the discomfort in the triceps as well. I think I am using my arms too much on pullups, so I am going to forgo them in the next few weeks.
After, I did T bar rows and was able to go five pounds heavier than last week, then the decline in the workout was seen. I had to go lighter on on v bar pulldowns and close grip cable rows. However, after my workout, I felt my back as being more sore than not. usually on a heavy pull day, I just feel fatigued, I don't necessarily feel that I worked my back. Not that I jerk the weights around, but I think being aware of my left arm being sore and my low energy, I was able to actually use my back with the lighter weight. I think I will use the same weights next week as well.
Overall, I was disappointed because I did not move the same weight, on two exercises, but looking back, I did feel my back as being more engaged than not.
I couldn't believe how much that last set of deadlifts took out of me. I literally went to zero energy, that has never happened.
Edit, for what it is worth, even after doing direct biceps work after the back work, my left arm felt better. That makes me think I was/am using my arms too much on pullups.
