Diane, I wish you'd stop talking dirty to me

I met a trashy lady today, her name was Diane. She wanted to use me, fast and hard and she wanted to "See what I can do."

"Diane," replied Popedog in a half-excited tone, "what have you in store for me today?"

"I want to see what you can DO, soldier boy, now show me that sugar."

Well when it was all said an done, that tramp used me for 4:10, quick and hard just like she promised (heart rate was SCREAMING at the max for most of this and nearly puked):

21 DL @ 70 KG (155 lbs)
21 modified HSPU
15 DL @ 70 KG
15 modified HSPU
9 DL @ 70 KG
9 modified HSPU

I also did a workup heavy deadlift to 5 rep max:
135x5 (61.3KG), 225x5 (102.2KG), 265x5 (120.5KG), 285x5 (129.5KG) (Owches!!)

I feel like the weight was right on for the deadlifts, as the last set of 9 I was starting to struggle on the last few reps. I can't do the full on HSPU yet, but modified offer a small challenge. I haven't figured out how to make the transition, but with a body-weight of 101 KG, I'm not ready to make that leap.

Going to review the deadlift form, I suspect I have been going with too wide of a leg stance, and butt not low enough. Other than that, I feel like it's rocking for sure :)

(Edit: I reviewed the form and found that I'm doing deadlifts a bit wrong, too wide of a grip, which changes start position and some other things. my form wasn't as bad as I thought though. also, my push press form sucks. I'm going to fix that moving forward.)
