Beyond 5/3/1 Trap Bar Deadlift

I'm loving this for 5/3/1. Using the trap bar doesn't hurt my neck, and my glutes and hamstrings get worked really well with the dead stop at the bottom every time.

Triples @ 60, 110, 150, 200, 240

Fives @ 270, 310

19 @ 355

This was a bit disappointing, not because of the number (it projects 580 for a 1RM, lol) but because I thought I was at 18 when I stopped. My usual rule is "Stop when the reps start to get ugly" but if I'd known I was at 19 I definitely would've done 20. One slightly ugly rep wouldn't have killed me.

Five @ 375

Had to go to work :( Hopefully it doesn't get too cold to train in the garage for another few weeks so I can do this some more before our winter Gold's Gym hibernation.
