SM Day 3--Deadlifts for 4

Excerpt from the best thread on StartingStrength.com:

"That felt like quite possibly the hardest [anaerobic] workout I've ever done. 3 sets of 4 reps DL: 397.5, 377.5, 357.5; FOLLOWED by hatch squats??? Yeah right. The Hatch formual I used dictated 245x10, 255x8, 275x6, 300x4. That was not going to happen (I hadn't factored in that I'd be bloody dying from DLs). I did 135x5, 185x3, 225x1, 245x5, 265x5 and was one foot in the grave so I did 3x8 BW Pull-ups and shuffled my way to the car, cursing f4, hatch, and Minnesota humidity the whole way.

Even now, I can hardly support myself in this chair."


So, some adjustments to the programming are in order so I don't kill myself with squats after CRAZY DLs on Fridays.



In an unrelated note, I am thinking of doing one of those "Pic a day" or "Pic a week" things... might be cool.
