A Cold Day In Hell

Deads:
135lb x8
155lb x6
165lb x3
Belted up for the following:
185lb x3, 5x
165lb x3
155lb x6
135lb max reps: x17, x10, x10, x12, x10
●●●●●●●●●●
Thrusters:
100lb x10
115lb x8
135lb x3, 2x
I wanted to get 3 more sets at 135lb,  but the chair I use kept moving and I didn't feel safe. So I stopped. I have it on rubber mats too, but it's just not heavy enough to stand up to me plus the weight. I'll have to come up with a solution.

The following was completed using a cement block:
Single leg side hop x10 ea
Single leg side dip x10 ea
Step up/dip x10 ea
3 sets of that circuit

I have been very lax on my deadlifting lately. The last time I tried them, my back went to shit and I think I've been a bit gun shy. Tonight, however, I checked my ego at the garage door and belted up when I felt I needed it. I'm a little disappointed that I have to belt for 185lb when that use to be fairly easy for me, but I'd rather do this safely and be able to gain strength instead of being an idiot and losing mobility and functionality. I believe once I get back to every Monday being deadlift day, my strength will be back where it should be in fairly short order. 
I broke down and bought a small space heater for the garage because it was FREEZING out there. 33° to be exact. I can remember not too long ago I was training in 90° heat and high humidity. If the weights don't toughen me, Mother Nature surely will!
