So, my warm-up set for the DLs sucked. Major. Ass. But then I began to pay stricter attention to form, and kept my chest up, and PRESTO! Everything just fell into place.. and each lift felt good. Very good. In order to use my hamstrings in the lift, I ended up having to "lean back" a lot further than I thought I should have, almost to the point of feeling like oyu're falling backwards (exactly what Charles said to me), but the weight of the barbell keeps you upright. So I'm comfortable with the DL form, now, which is an amazing feeling!
Also, I timed my rest intervals between sets today, particularly the DLs.. I've realised that three minutes is a LOT Logner than I thoguht. My "three minute" rests have probablybeen around 30 seconds, max. Which is probably what leads to failing on the last bench reps, or my low back getting tense.. So now I know what it feels like to rest a full three minutes, and I think I can significantly increase my weight just on the basis of more (appropriate) rest time.
