| Stiff leg deficit | 225-315-405-495 | 4x8 |
| Fatbell swing | band resisted | 3x20 |
| Backwards sled | 5 plates | 3 trips |
With the SSB I went 0-2-4-6 chains per side and it felt really solid. I decided to deadlift afterwards because I skipped it earlier in the week- these moved well too! And the heavy sled kicked my ass. I was cramping through the last trip.

| Floor press | 405 | 4x4 |
| drop set | 225 | 2x20 |
| 1/4 dips | 100# | 4x15 |

I was aiming for a few sets of 5 at 405 but petered out at 4. So I changed plans from 3x5 to 4x4. I looked back at some old training videos and this is actually ahead of where I was training for the Arnold and other previous meets.

Great deadlift day! I didn't have a plan and worked up to a "PR" of sorts with this set up. During my last Arnold prep I pulled 585x3 and then a PR of 815 sumo. We'll see what happens from here.
No Dynamic Effort Bench day this week.
