M7 W2 Deadlift Day

Spring 2009 Training
Mesocycle 7 - Week 2
Deadlift Day

Beginning Thoughts:

Not getting much sleep these days...and I think I am overeating...

Workout:

Banded Deadlifts using the Red Bands Double Looped for Doubles:
195 lbs - This was the first struggle set
165 lbs - This was the second struggle set
115 lbs x 2 reps x 2 sets
125 lbs x 2 reps x 2 sets
135 lbs x 2 reps
All in all this was hard but I think I am getting the hang of "ripping" the bar off the floor. 

Deadlifts:
315 lbs x 3 reps
365 lbs x 2 reps
405 lbs x 3 reps
The first set with 315 lbs was so easy it felt like 225. I even used a hook grip! But then 365 lbs felt a LOT heavier than I expected. 405 lbs was a true grinder....

Density Training @ 15 minutes:
Reverse Lunges = 65 lbs x 6 reps x 3 sets
Plate Pinches = 25 lbs x 20 seconds x 3 sets
Dragon Fly Sit-ups = BW x 6 reps x 4 sets
Exactly as last time....Arg I hate density work but it is so useful sometimes.
