Best deadlift day I've had in a long time, form felt solid, finally starting to get what I'm supposed to. Squeezing the bar off the floor and mats, maintaining same back angle then finishing with the glutes. Really pushing deads this cycle for Provincals

Skipped assistance, was feeling really tired/weak today. I realised midway through, all I had to eat at this point, was an omelet, 1 piece of toast, and a bowl of mini wheats, this was at 4pm. Was really busy at work, and guess just lost track, can't let that happen anymore
