5's
Then
1s
Ack this day turned out crummy and frustrating. Low Back was stiff and sore this morning. the deadlifts felt incredibly heavy.
Did 160x5
185x5 (this felt slow and insanely heavy!!?)
dropped to 175 or 170#? for amrap.  Did an AMRAP set and got 10 reps.

Then Tried some 1 arm Sumo DL -
Did 80# with r arm and I could lift it but on the way down about 3-4 inches from the ground my low back got a shooting pain - was not testing short but stopped anyway due to pain signal. Also Dawn noticed I was shaking trying to go down with R arm.
I could not even lift 80# or even the 70# with my left arm.
Extension in thoracic spine limited, lumbar extending too much?
