Post: pretty good! Twinged my upper traps (rhomboids?) a little bit with the DLs (slow lockout)
All in all, pretty decent considering how friggin tired I was. I really like the VS Athletics shoes, felt much better than squatting in chucks for Shoulder Stance. Keep plugging away.

I <3 my shoes.
Anyway, that's ballsy going for a 1RM first time using the shoes. Just curious, what type of knee sleeves are you sporting these days?
Also it was more likely the lower traps than the rhomboids. Traps are way bigger than you'd think. And I think they are more active in a deadlift than the rhomboids, but now I'm talking out of my ass.
Yeah, probably the lower traps.
Good work, Nathans. Traps then, since the rhomboids are lower than where I felt it. Curiously, an entire bag of shrimp has reduced the pain (HAH!)
Also, these are my knee sleeves.
Working up to a max single? Must be Phil's light week...
