This was all I had the energy for today. I was and am completely spent. Andy Bolton said when he switched to doing both squats and deadlifts on the same day he use to throw up and get sick to his stomach after every workout for 4 weeks or so. Today was the first time I ever felt that way. The top deadlifts are done starting at the top which gives you a negative and a lot of kinetic energy making the bottom very easy and the top very hard. I am weak at the top so this went well. Back to no equipment squats and stiff leg deadlifts next week. I will have to find time next week to do an upper back workout.
