A little DL progress

I realized after last week that I didn't try a mixed grip on when I had issues with a slipping grip effecting lockout.  This time, I remembered and had a much easier time of it.  Still, although I added another 5 pounds onto my conventional DL, I'm not up to sumo DL weight.  What I pulled today was pretty close to my max, I think.  There wasn't much left.  I hope my back doesn't get too sore.  I felt like a couple times, I let my lower back get lax.  I corrected that for the heavier lifts, though.  After my PR, I dropped back 20 pounds for the last two sets.  It's amazing how much easier that felt!
