For the first time since I started doing them with a barbell I actually feel I’m getting a handle on the SRDLs. On the sets with 4, 3 and 2 I managed to do them without falling over. Still couldn’t do 6 in a row that way though. Maybe next time. I was feeling very strong on the deadlifts though. I had only planned on going up to 135 on the third set, but went another 5 for the last set (as it’s only 2 reps). All around a pretty decent workout.
