Brian - (2/6 and 2/7) Volume

---(2/6)---

Deadlift;
Warmup - 5x133, 5x133, 5x183
Working - 4x225 @7, 4x273 @8, 4x273 @8, 4x273 @8, 4x273 @8

I feel like deficit deadlifts are helping me get off the ground faster, but I'm still a little poor on my setup. I feel like each set is starting from a different position. I really wish something would click :(

Squats;
Warmup - 5x135, 5x135, 4x185
Working - 4x225 @8, 4x235 @9, 4x235 @9, 4x235 @9, 4x245 @9.5

The 245 for 4 set is a huge "volume PR" for me if you want to call it that. None of the reps were grinders, and I still think I had about one in the tank. I feel like I'm making significant squat progress.

---(2/7)---

Pause Bench (3 count);
Warmup - 45x5, 95x5, 135x4, 135x4

Middle grip Bench w/ White Pad w/ Pause;
