He had me focus on tightening my back up, in fact, my entire core. Taking a big breath just before I lift and putting force into the bar just before I lift. Physcially it's great. I love doing deadlifts. Mentally...you just have so much to wrap your mind around to make it work properly. But he said I did good. Said when I do my totals Evan says he should be able to add 15 more pounds when I'm fresh and that I'm getting scarily close to 200 pounds.

I'm a little nervous though. I'm already feeling pretty sore and I only finished an hour and a half ago.

Oh...Evan also told me that I should be able to add one kipping every two weeks. Today I did four each time but I seem to have lost the ability to explosively push away. Or...maybe I never had it. Or I'm just spent.
