Hamstring still tight here, also last 3 sessions I've felt dead, I think I'm fighting something off. Not good times. The cleans went well though, nothing too extreme here since the hamstring is tight. Snatches went well too. Form is really coming around on them; without letting myself starfish out with my legs, I have to dip down a tad as you're supposed to, to hit the rep.  Next up, I did deficit deadlifts. I somehow have NEVER done them before. It helps with breaking from the floor on standard deads.  That's my sticking point, so it makes sense to try them, not sure why I took so long. Wooowhee are they hard, I can't believe standing on a couple of 45 lbs. plates can make that much of a difference. Was going to use one of those step-up platforms, but not sure if it would support the weight. Tried a regular deadlift after, not sure if it felt any different.  I don't know why I expected it to. Probably have to do deficit pulling for a couple sessions at least to notice a difference.  Finished with more pull-throughs, I'm really piling the weight on now, not sure if it's contributing to my recent surge in squatting, but it can't hurt, and then finished with some ab-wheel.
