Deadlift and Side Press

This was the first day of a PTTP style template focused on deadlifts and presses. I used the Bear alteration to add some more mass to assist me in pressing the Beast at some point, and because I like being bigger within reason.

Deadlift
275 1x5
250 1x5
225 10x5

Side Press
45 5x5/5

I started off pretty conservatively with the Deadlift and Side Press poundages, and that paid off. The 10 sets of 5 reps at 225 ended up being a beating. I’m still getting a feel for the side press, but I’ll start upping the weight on that soon.
