M13 W3 Deadlift Day

Fall 2009 Training
Mesocycle 13 - Week 3
Deadlift Day

Beginning Thoughts:

I got 4 hours of sleep last night. I wish I could say I was up studying and doing something productive academically, but I wasn't. I spent the night reading a book called "A Most Wanted Man" by John Le Carre which is decent. I finished reading 250 pages last night and the rest of the night was spent watching the first 4 episodes of this old(ish) TV-Show called The Practice. I don't know if any of y'all remember this show, but it used to be my favorite and I grew up watching shows like The Practice, Boston Public, etc...I'm gonna finish watching the first few seasons of The Practice via Netflix this semester.

Workout:

Deadlifts:
405 lbs x 1 rep
395 lbs x 5 reps
410 lbs x 1 rep
400 lbs x 4 reps
415 lbs x 1 rep
405 lbs x 3 reps
Ok, first things first. One: I was NOT in a mood to lift weights today. I was feeling kinda meh the whole workout and no matter how much mobility work I did to activate my glutes, I just could not ****ing get it....But, this is my fault and this happens to me from time to time and it is unreal to expect every single workout to be the same. From the videos you will notice that my form fluctuates between good and bad and I take responsibility for that. I was very ambitious today in terms of weight selection and you can see from the missed 400 and 405 sets that I did not deliver. But, I am determined more than ever to deliver on both these fronts next week. I am going to get 405 x 5. On another note: I think I have been feeling kinda winded of late because of my diet. I am doing an average daily deficit of 700 calories and I think it is playing havoc on my system since my carb sources are terrible....All I make sure to do is get my protein and fat in and then the carbs get filled with cookies and ****. But, today I was just feeling meh because I was mentally exhausted. Next week will be better.

Overall Impression:

This was a kinda disappointing session but things like this happen from time to time so it's alright...and since last week's workout was so good something had to give, right?

Anyways, I hope everyone's having a good week. Tomorrow is Friday and I am really looking forward to the weekend. I got some big tests next week and I need to work my ass off. Good thing I finished watching The Practice earlier in the week otherwise no way would I have been able to resist...

Thanks for reading and have a great Friday everyone!
