Monday Deadlift Singles

Today I had visions of pulling some big iron. Deadlift singles. I've found the hard way that I'm not completely back from my surgery. My posterior chain is still lacking the strength in once had. There's more hard training to come before I'm back to my former glory. Here's what happened today.

Deadlifts - 225lbs/6 reps (sumo), 315lbs/6 reps (sumo), 405lbs/1 rep (conv), 455lbs/fail, 455lbs/fail, 405lbs/1 rep.
Shurgs - 315lbs/6 reps, 365lbs/6 reps, 405lbs/6 reps, 425lbs/6 reps, 455lbs/6 reps, 475lbs/4 reps.
Chin Ups - 4 sets/4 reps/110, 90, 70, 50lbs assistance.

I perform the chin ups with a parallel grip. I'm very weak at chins and I find these the most comfortable. Right now my back feels great. I can definitely feel my lats. I'm sure chin ups will end up like my dips. Harder than hell but I can still do them.
