Why did that burn so bad. Heart is racing like I did HIIT

There is a LOT of volume on the posterior chain between this first day of the split and the last day of the previous. My lower back tends to ache throughout this workout, I recommend swapping out the good mornings and deadlifts for more rdls (barbell) and/or leg curls. I use this as a template but tend to tweak alot of exercises due to the excessive strain on the posterior.

Went up from 25s to 35s on my dead lifts!!!!

Good workout, I added some chest in there

How do I get better at strict press? It ends up being a push press which I can control much better and with heavier weights
