Good work, got a lot done there. So you are still having back issues? I have been lucky having no problems at all as of late. Hopefully your shins don't get reaggrivated, those are a bitch. So you're thinkin the gloves were hampering the grip, that seems possible. I've never used gloves or straps or anything, I just figure if I can't do it with my own 2 hands, I'm not ready!
Deadlifts
1 x 10 @ 225
1 x 10 @ 245
1 x 10 @ 255
1 x 10 @ 225
My hands were tore up, and these just wore me the F out. It was great, I am thinkin if I can do 10 reps at 255, I could likely keep my form with more weight. Regardless, I like the 8-12 rep range, gonna keep at it.
Standing OH Press
1 x 5 @ 95
1 x 5 @ 105

Not going anywhere with these.
BB BOR
1 x 5 @ 95
1 x 5 @ 115
1 x 5 @ 125
3 x 5 @ 135
Never done 135 before, it was great. I could barely get that mofo up to my abdomen on the last rep, but I was doin em strong.
