Warm-up:
court jogs

3x3 deadlift (5x135, 3x185, 1x225 then 3x3x255)

3 rounds of:
10 hamstring curls (5L, 5R; 35#)
weighted dead hang (10# x 60s, 20# x 60s, 25# x 30s)

I've always done my heavy deadlifts as a single set of 5, but my technique tends to get sloppy by the end of the set. Trying out 3x3 instead to both get more reps in and focus on good form at heavy weights. 255 felt steady but heavy, took a few lifts to get dialed back in - probably heavier than I should have gone but will see how it feels next time.

As G and I discussed the other day, I'm trying to add in more climbing-specific training. Started today with some hamstring work and weighted dead hangs, which produced quite a pump by the end.
