Deadlift

Hookay.
Started with a run.
1.24m in 20minutes, so that comes to 16m 7sec per mile. (pr)

Then my warm up. 10 squats with just the bar. 60 sit ups. 20 back extensions. then 5 pull ups and 5 dips on the assist machine with 60#.
60# feels like nothing. I know it's something...but it feels like nothing.

Then the WOD:
Deadlift 5-5-5-5-5 reps

My loads were 95-105-105-105-115
So if I were to total it we'd have 525.

Kept the weights a little low only because I'm still learning the proper form.
I'm completely comfortable with the lifting portion of the movement. It's putting the weight back down that is bothering me. I'm doing 5 sets of 5 reps. I don't want to just drop the weight and have it clanging around every time.
On the other hand, I'm not sure how to go about putting it down safely.
I'll have to work on it.

After the WOD I went ahead and did a bench press 5x5.
10reps empty to get the feel of the movement.
Then loads were 65-85-95-105-105
So total was 455.

I'm about 60 pounds short of a body weight bench.
But I'm on my way.
