Feelin' good, like a hard day should!

Got a lot done last night.
warmed up with my normal 3 sets of 15 band pull aparts.  while doing that, i was knocking out my 1,2,3,4,5 pullup/chinup ladders.  Basically I would do a set of pull apart and then hit a full ladder etc.  I managed to get 3 ladders complete before I started pulling on the bar.  Today was my deadlift day, I will let you in on a little secret...I was a little nervous today.  I have continually set my rep records so high that in order to beat it I have to continually add reps, oh by the way, the weight keeps getting heavier.  I guess that is the point.  I warmed up with a set of 5 at 155, and then I hit a set of 5 at 190 with my final warmup set of 3 at 230.  I do have to say that the bar is feeling really light!  they all felt like 135!  Again, I mixed in a pullup ladder in there and then started my worksets.  I keep my grip at double overhand with no hook grip to work on hand strength until the final set.  My first work set was  250 for an easy 5.  I thne loaded the bar to 285 for 5.  After a good rest the bar was loaded to 325 for my all out set.  I had to beat 12 for this one.  I finished with 13, so now my next rep record is 14!  Do you see what I mean.  After that set I recorded my score and had another ladder or two to finish so I knocked that out.  While unloading the bar I left it at 225 and figured that I would hit some stiff legged deadlifts.  During my first set I liked the demand on my grip so I figured why not hammer it home with some shrugs too.  I did three sets of 5 SDL+10 shrugs which felt good.  Can't let the midline go so I did 100 leg levers (leg lifts) in 3 sets (50,40,10).  All in all good workout!
