Cycle 8 Week 3 Deadlift repeat/Hill sprints

Didn't do the 5/3/1 sets just worked up to a single;
135X10, 225X5, 315X5
405X1, 455X1, 495X1
550X0, 405 X3 paused

Went for a PR with 550, lost grip with my left hand just before lockout. I've never had an issue with missing a lift from loss of grip before. Would have been nice to set a small PR in my last deadlift workout before Westerns, but oh well. I'm not gonna let it get to me and not going to try anything crazy at Westerns with my deadlift.  At least I know where I need to focus my training on over the winter, because it is clear that my deadlift is stuck.  Looking forward to resting my deadlift now, maybe thats all it needs. I haven't taken a week off in 7 straight week, so that could be it. Last time I rested my dead it went up a bit.

Edit: I realized later in the day that I did hill sprints for the first time the day before this deadlift workout, which is apparently a big no-no due to the required recovery needed. I just found an excuse for why my deadlift sucked today.

Probably rest tomorrow and bench on Thursday.
