- After reading Rippletoe's general programming, I decided to try my DL sets going up in weight rather than down. Sets were 5 x 135/145/155/155/165, a little hard at the end but a workable approach. I may try them in the opposite order in my 2nd DL workout later in the week, just to see what happens.
- Many words could (and should) be written about the "tonic effect" of the deadlift. The physical, emotional, and even spiritual benefits of this work are hard to put in words but substantial (and widely noted) nonetheless.
- Got a filling replaced in the afternoon, my dentist has excellent dental kung fu. However, the neck position on those chairs is sure not conducive to a straight posture. I go back in two weeks for one more filling, supposedly to avoid a crown.
