Week 2 Wendler 5/3/1

Did Week 2, Day 1, of Wendler's 5/3/1 today.
I f'd up and accidentally put in the numbers for week 1 instead of 2 so my workout was a bit off. Instead of doing sets of 3 at a higher weight, I was doing sets of 5 at the same weight as last week. Good news is I was able to get more weight/reps.
On the AMRAP set I got 6 reps as opposed to last weeks 5.
On BBB (Big But Boring) I did 5 sets of 10 reps of deadlift at 225 instead of 200.

Deadlifting 225 is a stupidly light weight, but 50 reps will still make itself felt.

Instead of bicep curls I used Kroc rows as the accessory exercise. They were fantastic at revealing how weak my upper back is. Managed 5 sets of 15 reps at 45lbs. Goal is 5 sets of 20 reps with 100lbs. Deadline for this goal: 5 months, 19 June 2011.

Today's workout was.
