Abs & Plyos

Good day today. Maxed on deadlift for the first time in many months, only to get a 20lb PR. Form pointers would be helpful however, so I linked the video. I felt really really strong off the bottom (probably b/c of the suit), but had a really hard time once it got to around knee level. At least I know I have a new sticking point now.

Decided to give the squat suit a whirl today and was awesomely suprised. The suit felt nice and snug, which lent itself to massive PR's.

After the squats, I wanted to do lunges, and decided to get a little weird with it. So I did Zercher-style lunges (bar in the elbows). Dave thought this was so frickin crazy that he christened it the "Ransom Lift".
