^^^yeah stay away from the uni deadlift stuff right now.

On your deadlifts you did 1 set for 135 and then 2x155x12. I'd like you to stay away from 12 rep sets. I'd rather you do more sets of 8 with rest in between. High reps are fine for those rehab machines and leg extensions but for deads there is a fine line between practice and rehab vs. swcrewing up. With your history I want all your reps to be good ones. I don't want you having the density so high that fatigue causes you do go sloppy and also fatigue causes you to re-strain the muscle. Eight reps at the most is enough but even less if that is what it takes for it all to be in a more or less "fresh" state.

I am NOT saying you can't ever deadlift tired. I'm just saying I don't want YOU to deadlift tired right now. Keep in mind that you don't need to do more to progress. Stick with these submaximal weights for a little while longer. Next time do maybe try 165 for 3x8. A little while longer you will be able to try higher weights for a couple reps and then ligher backoffs. If that goes well you will build on it from there and before you know it you will be progressing from the point before you messed up and overloaded the bar.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
