Solid workout tonight. As per the norm, on my ‘every other deadlift session’ weeks I do a rack pull variant. Tonight I decided to do 18″ deadlifts. I hate these things as it puts the bar at the worst possible starting point for me. No leverage, feels extremely uncomfortable, etc. Anyways they ended up feeling pretty good, and I did better than I thought I would. After deads I did a bunch of GMs - started out strict and ended with a few ‘regular’ sets. Core work was really challenging - I used the lat pulldown for the standing crunches, and without any back support it made things quite a bit tougher.
