Since I have missed the last 2 weeks of regular training, I figured this was as good a time as any to jump to week 4. If I had stuck to plan I would've spent today doing Pistol Squats and Pull-ups and as you guys can tell from the last six workouts, I've had an overdose of those two exercises. So I made today into Deadlift Day
Deficit Deadlifts: 355 lbs x 2 reps 365 lbs x 2 reps 375 lbs x 2 reps 405 lbs x 2 reps 425 lbs x fail @ knees 425 lbs x fail @ mid-shin 385 lbs x 2 reps As luck would have it, 5 lights in the gym near me were out. SO i had to do this in the dark. I did take clips of everything, but I apologize if y'all cannot make out what is going on. Look for my bright white socks. They should be like guiding beacons for y'all! Supine Glute Ham Raises: BW x 10 reps x 3 sets These were especially hard today.... Overhead Plate Side-bends: 25 lbs x 10 reps x 3 sets Straight Arm Pulldowns: 49.5 lbs x 13 reps x 3 sets Front Planks with One Arm and One Foot Elevated: BW x 40 seconds x 3 sets Plate Pinches: 25 lbs x 40 seconds x 2 sets I think more important than the Deficit Deadlift with 405, this was the highlight of today's workout...I am so happy I could do this. It was hard as hell and I did not use my fingers to cheat.
