Two things I don’t like about this exercise.... the bar tilts and the weights come loose as the set progresses. I’m going to have to keep working on the tilt part. As to the weights coming loose, I’ll just stick with lower rep sets.

  * I decided to try these out to see how they’d feel on my lower back. My back felt fine, but I wasn’t in love with the feeling of the cushion digging in to my neck.

V-Handle Deads

V-Handle Deadlift (531, Cycle 2, Week 1)
Plug in Weight: 370

155/5, 205/5, 255/3, 285/1, 315/1, 345/1, 375/1, 375/1 (over- warm up)
240/5, 280/5, 315/10 (10RM)
The set of 315/10 took a lot out of me. Part of the reason was that the weights came loose on the bar and I had to tighten them after 7 reps. It also felt like the set took forever to complete.
