Been a minute since I’ve posted one of these. Had to push last Fridays deadlift day to Saturday and pushed the 5+ set hard for a 11 rep PB. Training has ramped up over the last couple of weeks and so has work, so I was feeling cooked today. Decided to lower the assistance volume from 5 to 3 sets and only do a double on the + set. A good move, workout was feeling strong and wasn’t drained at the end. Had a little oopsie on the 1+ set, noticed something was off, but the diff was too little to tell what it was. I remember thinking “That was weird, it was technically challenging, but at the same time easy strength wise” only to find out I loaded 2.5kg extra on the right side... oh well, better to find out you accidently did more then less! Have a good week training guys.
TLDR: Was tired, less assistance volume, strong workout, I can't properly load a barbell
