Another light day to test the lower back. I opted for the trap bar for less lower back involvement.
My trap bar has no raised handles, it is the same distance as a straight bar.

Back is much improved, but I'm still playing it safe. Probably could have pulled the 325 for 12-15 reps.
I'm going to start using straps on the top work sets to keep things symmetrical and prevent twisting on the lower back.
