Fall 2009 Training
Mesocycle 13 - Week 1
Deadlift Day
Beginning Thoughts:
I attended a talk by the ex-President of Pakistan: Musharaf tonight.....I still don't get why my university paid for someone like him to come talk to the students.
Workout:
Deadlifts:
395 lbs x 1 rep
385 lbs x 5 reps
400 lbs x 1 rep
390 lbs x 5 reps
405 lbs x 1 rep
395 lbs x 4 reps
I am using a modified version of Poliquin's 1-6 Principle for this month. To sum up today's workout, I have to say that my regret with this is that I did not get the 5 reps I wanted with 395. Other than that, everything was difficult in terms of effort but the video shows me it didn't look as hard as it felt. I have to add though: mentally this was an awesome workout. I was surrounded by positive people and it made a pretty big difference.

Overall Impression:
I am very pleased with this workout. Last week for Deadlifts all I got was:
385 lbs x 6 reps x 2 sets
385 lbs x 5 reps
Thats a total of 17 reps over 3 sets.
This workout I managed to lift more than 385 and my total reps over 6 sets is 17. This is pure double progression and I love it. If you guys don't know what Double Progression is, check out this masterpiece written by Eric Troy: Single Double Triple Progression.
Tomorrow is gonna be Press Day and I am looking forward to doing some rows.
Tomorrow's Friday so I hope everyone has a good weekend! Mine is going to involve some heavy studying and working out.
Cheers!
