Great first workout, forgot to do the 40%,50%,60% warmup, so did some with the bar then with 50 lbs.

Also, the last deadlift session from my last routine/log was my first ever with straps, did extra weight and just destroyed my lower back. I'm still feeling it now. I hope to be 100% for my squat session.
