Fall 2008 Training
Mesocycle 2 - Week 1
Deadlift Day
Beginning Thoughts:
So its a new mesocycle
I have been eating a lot of junk food. Over the last 3 days I have consumed 4 12" Cheese Pizza's with Extra Cheese. Complete junk. Workout:
Deficit Deadlifts:
315 lbs x 3 reps x 5 sets
185 lbs x 6 reps x 2 sets
These were very hard and I scraped my shins many times. They're sore as hell right now.
Banded Speed Deadlifts:
@ 53% = 205 lbs x 2 reps x 5 sets
To save time I decided to do doubles and I needed a change. For the last 6 months all speed work for deadlifts has involved singles and I figured its time to switch things up.
Front Box Squats:
225 lbs x 3 reps
My hips were tired and I did not use my knee sleeves or anything. So I found this exercise a bit difficult.
Flat Dumbbell Press:
60 lbs x 12 reps x 2 sets
This was surprisingly pretty difficult to do.
Head Supported Rows:
35 lbs x 12 reps x 2 sets
Overhead Plate Side-bends:
10 lbs x 10 reps x 2 sets Videos:
Deficit Deadlifts, Speed Deadlifts and Front Box Squat:
