My deadlift is coming along nicely. I have working on the wedging technique, and staying tight as the bar breaks the ground. I have also found a good groove that allows me to really concentrate on pushing the ground away, rather than standing up.
Here's today training
Warm ups.
I really like using barbbell complexes for warmups, plus it allows me to keep my Oly lifting skills.
Favorite complex so far (usually make them up right before my w/o)
RDL -> bent over row -> clean -> front sqt.
Then I will hit some BB Snatches off block, the bar is just above my knees. After the last Snatch I bang out some Overhead Sqts.
Deadlift 155x5, 205x3, 300x2 for 6 sets
Back Squat 5x5 @ 135
Press 5x1 w/32kg KB
BW Pullup 5 sets to with in 1 rep of failure
5 minutes 24kg Snatch
Lots of mobilty.
It will be interesting to see how the 5 minute set goes, no carbs all week.
Stay tuned.

bj if I were you I would squat first and then deadlift.use the squat as your warmup. It can be tough on the lower back squatting after dls, especially as your weights get heavier.

I have done that in the past, and you're right it works great. Sometimes I'll do cleans to a front squat.
After more thought I don't think I'm going to go much heavier, Is seems I actually use the squat to open my hips up after the DLs. I focus on pushing the kness out and sitting between my ankles.
