Was going to be legs but got mad after DL set and left.

Still going to be running push, pull legs, but really need to figure out what to do with my DL. My all time PR was 600+ in 2017 and have not come close to breaking it since despite pushing my squat and bench up probably 50+ pounds each since then. This is the longest DL plateau i’ve ever had and it’s getting very frustrating
