Off season training has been fun trying different exercises and building weaknesses. I'm also trying to keep my legs strong with minimal knee bend exercises.

DEADLIFTS
256 LBS X 3
346 LBS X 2
I have not deadlifted since the Arnold and honestly had no desire too until yesterday. I have been watching Ken work on his deadlift and was inspired by his dedication to working on getting his numbers and technique up.
Yesterday I decided to see how it felt. The 256 warmup went up like butter I was shocked. I guess the rest helps alot. The 346 lbs also felt light. I do not feel I have lost any strength with my off season training.
80% accessories, 20 % main lifts, the Westside way works!
