  • Paused Deadlifts: 315*2 365*1 385*1 405*1
  • Deadlifts: 455*1 - cns toast
  • Hanging-Power Snatches: 115*5 135*3 145*2
  • Suitcase Carries: 25*50 20*50

So instead of snatch-grip deads I'm trying paused deadlifts where I pause right after breaking off the ground, so like 1.5-2.5" from the surface of the floor. Absolutely fried my CNS, I could feel how done it was after.  Good times.  We'll see what the end result is.  On suitcase carries I focused on form and keeping my hips straight under my torso.  On the heavier weights I've been using there's this tendency to kind of 'slide' my hips to one side or the other. I fight against it, but then my upper torso ends up leaning over a bit to the side that has the weight. Not what I'm going for at all with these. Need to build back up with better form.
