**Wanted exactly what I got on the Deadlift today.  My lockout was not stellar but I feel good about my progress toward a 700 pull off the floor.  The plates were only 2" off the floor and the chains were just under 20% of the total weight, with 50% of the chain weight starting off the floor. 

**Also, I seem to have all but whipped my hip pain.  It only took me two sets to get warm enough for the pain to go away today.  Accentuating my knees out even further to the point of my feet rolling to the outside has seemed to help immensely along with my toes pointed slightly more forward. Also, i'm not walking squats out with bands on my DE days for this cycle.  After speaking with Ed Kinsey, I think I may have tilted my hips somewhat doing so previously. Good day.
