Deadlift Day

I am really enjoying the Cube Boss programming. Doing so many working sets of my main lift (14 sets of deadlifts if you include my warm-ups) makes me feel like I am getting quality work in to make progress with the "big three" while the relative high-rep/low-weight nature of the sets (compared to my 5-3-1 program) combined with a fairly serious amount of accessory work means I've been getting a pretty consistent endorphin boost from these workouts too. Wins all around.

p.s. I also drank twice as much pre-workout coffee as I usually do, so that might be contributing a small amount to my effervescent good mood . . . :)
