Deadlift Training
Mesocycle 17 - Week 2
Beginning Thoughts:
This is last night's workout...I pretty much sat on my ass all day so I was very lethargic when I hit the gym lol...
Workout:
Deadlifts:
(415 lbs x 2 reps x 3 minisets) x 2 cluster sets
455 lbs x 1 rep
I really wanted to hit 4 doubles but all I could muster up was 3. Next week I am going to increase rest period from 25 seconds to 30-45 seconds and really try for get 4 doubles with 415 per cluster set.
Front Squats:
185 lbs x 5 reps x 3 sets
205 lbs x 3 reps
I used three fingers this time and I added 2 reps to each of the 185 sets...
Lat Pulldown Crunches:
40 kgs x 10 reps x 3 sets
Overhead Plate Sidebends:
25 lbs x 8 reps x 3 sets
Dumbbell Windmills:
12 kgs x 8 reps x 3 sets

Overall Impression:
Tiring workout. I am getting better at cluster sets. I am not used to rep work but I think I'll improve over the next few weeks. I aim to get 4 doubles next week and then I'm gonna increase the weight and go back to singles hopefully with 435. My overall aim is to hit 435 for doubles in a cluster set but it may be a while before I can manage that.
I hope everyone's having a good weekend! Thanks for reading, as always!
