Day Four, Week Four: Deadlifts

The last workout of recovery week #4, day four has me doing 5 sets of 8 deadlifts at 60% of my one-rep max (by the way, even at only 60% of my one-rep max, 5 sets of 8 deadlifts is excruciatingly exhausting), followed by two supplemental exercises. And I still HATE lunges! Fortunately I begin a new workout tomorrow which doesn't include them.
