2017-01-13: Friday the thirteen killed my deadlift!

Okay, the subject is pure hyperbole.  I failed my heavy Deadlift today - but the reason is probably that it's my 3rd time deadlifting in 4 days.  Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, with squats every day - might be a tad over the top.  I'm curious how next week will play out with Monday/Wednesday/Friday.

Also curious was the way my deadlift failed.  Previous failures has been that I've been too weak in my hips and lower back.  Today the failure was very clearly in my quadriceps.
