Deadlift Tuesday - Week1 (2nd cycle)

I'm starting to like deadlifting more and more. Upped the weight 10 lbs for the deadlifts - getting into some heavy weights. If my deadlift doesnt go up after this kind of weight, then nothing works. Just hard work and heavy weight.

Deadlift - 330X5, 350X5, 375X6 (PR).

BW Chinups - X10X3
Trap bar shrugs  - 135X12X3
Upright cable row - 80X12X3

375X6 is a PR for me. Feeling strong and really enjoying deadlifting. I put a belt on for the 2nd and third set, but otherwise just chalk, no straps or anything, and in bare feet. Changing up my assistance work a little. I'm only going to do traps (shrugs and rows) on deadlift day. My lower back is toast after deads, and dont want to waste any energy doing it before deads either. Going to add a 5th day to my routine and do lat work, lower back (good mornings, etc...) and biceps on this day so I can just focus on deadlifting.
Training right through to Thursday this week because I'm going away for the weekend for the boy's hockey provincials and wont be training for three days.
