Safety-bar good mornings 6 x 3-5

100, 130, 130, 120, 120, 120

Then, 3 rounds of:

15 deadlifts (185#)
Rest 45 seconds
Max hollow position hold
Rest 45 seconds
Max handstand hold
Rest 90 seconds

Notes: Good mornings were brutal with the safety bar. It's such a fight to stabilize the upper back. I didn't like the way the reps felt at 130#, so I dropped it down to 120# to ensure that I was maintaining tight arch in the lower back. Played it conservatively on deadlift worked at 185# for reps. Lower back stayed rigid throughout, which is most important aspect at this point in time. Although I'm anxious to start adding numbers to the deadlift, I didn't think this rep scheme was appropriate to really force the issue.
