Deadlifts

5 x 90kg
5 x 92.5g
5 x 95kg

20 x 77.5kg

I have this weird thing going on where my first rep is better than the subsequent ones. The reverse of the typical pattern.
I eventually spotted it in the video; My hips are lower on my first rep. In a misguided attempt to assume a Rip approved start position I straighten my legs out too much and wind up with a very flat back and my shoulders way forward of the bar. I can't feel the lift in my hamstrings whereas in that first rep it's all hamstrings and no back. Something I approve of.

So now to work on that. Cool.
