So, one set of chains is definitely not enough when it comes to deadlifting. Left my belt at home today, so did it completely raw, and well.. 385 felt easy, nevermind that there was an extra 40lbs at the top. It should help my lock-out, though, so I'm going to keep this in for a little bit.

"Power pulls" are really just plyometric pull-ups. No clap, nothing fancy, just pull, hands come off, then catch and return to deadhang. Was fun.
