nice work..deads down a touch?

nice work..deads down a touch?

Thanks. No, I am purposely bringing the weights down on my deadlifts in order to hit more reps and to get my back muscles a bit stronger before I go heavier. The 445 was tough and it felt like my back was ripping apart so for safety measures, I want my back stronger before I go heavier.

Also, the 410 was all touch and go compared to when I go heavier, I usually have a rest-pause after each rep.

Good choice winter.
I'm also doing higher rep on deads. I used to do 1 or 2 reps but now I'm around 4-5. I don't like going over 6 reps either. Also I'm doing 1 working set only on deads.

Yes, I find it to get a bit dangerous when I'm going heavy and doing very low reps. 4-5reps is ideal for strength/size gain in the back, IMO.
