Cycle 3 Week 2 Deadlifts

Triples week.

Conventional Deadlifts - (after warmup) 400X3, 425X3, 450X2.
Was aiming for 3 on the last set but failed on the lockout. Maybe I should reset my training max percentage on the DL, I shouldn't be failing before getting the minimum reps.

1" Deficit deadlifts (off a 45lb plate)- 315X5X5 superset with upright cable rows - 130X12X3
Trap bar shrugs - 135X12X2 superset with DB shrug - 75X10X2.

Another really good workout after a good sleep, probably 8-9 hours again. My back has never felt better during and after a deadlift workout, literally no soreness or tightness. A sign of good rest and diet? I hope so. I have started watching my diet closer again and I hope this is a by-product. I ingested 322 grams of protein yesterday and it seems to be helping so I will try to continue (my apologies to my family and coworkers for the side effects lol). Still battling tendon soreness in my inside elbows, so have been icing them and wearing elbow sleeves during all workouts. I really don't want to have to take time off to heal right now.
Rest day tomorrow, then bench press Thursday.
