Week 1 Day 4 Deadlifts

Hmm almost done except I forgot to mention I'm adding in a day 5, which is arms. Gotta work the pipes :). I did this arm workout last Thursday and had bicep/tricep DOMS for a few days, it's a good one which I'll be yacking about in tomorrow's blog.
Today was hex bar deadlifts and the RTS software was telling me this am that I was red lining for short term fatigue. Hopefully my body will adjust next week or else I'll have to start adjusting the volume of my workouts next week. The plan was BBB sets for the hex bar deadlifts so it was 275 lbs for 5 sets of 10. Felt gtg but I gave myself at least 2 mins between sets. I never superset anything with a deadlift once I'm into my working sets. During warm up sets I will do farmer walks to help speed up my workout. I did do dead hangs from the chin up bar between sets to stretch out my back, which I always find help it out.
Next was low bar pin squats in the squat rack. These felt better as I got thru my warm up sets and into the work sets. This is my secondary day for legs so it was just 3 sets of 5 reps. 
Skipped my last exercise because the equipment was being used and time was running out so I'll hit it tomorrow when I crush the pipes.
