As you MAY or MAY NOT have noticed, i haven't been doing any leg work at all. strongly feel that its gonna screw up my recovery between deadlift sessions, and my entire back is usually shagged anyway. Can't wait for it to be over though, really miss squatting.

Another thing you might notice is that i've been supersetting my deadlift sets with alot of machine pressing. I like it as i find that it doesnt really affect my recovery rate between pull sets, and its a good way to warm up & pre-exhaust for the upper body work after. 

Lastly, this is the first time in awhile that i've been training only 3 times a week for an extended period of time, but interestingly i don't feel like i'm itching to train during my rest days, or like im gonna get unfit or some shit.
