Deadlift Training
Mesocycle 17 - Week 4

Beginning Thoughts:
This is last night's workout..My diet has been pretty decent: mainly protein and veggies and other carbs but I think I'm not getting enough fat. I also feel a bit tired throughout the day which is weird for me...Maybe I need to up my calories a bit for a couple of days to get back on track.
Workout:
Deadlifts:
425 lbs x 5 reps
This was a backoff session so I kept the intensity just didn't make it too hard on myself. In this cold weather my hands develop quite a bit of dry skin and my damn calluses get ripped off which ends up making my hands hurt whenever I grip the bar. 135 lbs is just as painful for my hands as 425 and I hate having a compromised grip!

Front Squats:
225 lbs x 3 reps
245 lbs x 2 reps
275 lbs x 1 rep
I just wanted to work towards a relative max. I'm glad I got 275. 275 using the clean grip feels a LOT more comfortable than 275 using that silly cross grip.

Weird Ab Exercise:
BW x 7 reps x 3 sets
Videos:
Deadlifts, Front Squats & Core Training:
Overall Impression:
I hope everyone has had a great week. I'm looking forward to the weekend! Cheers and thanks for reading as always!
