Tests and Measures practical exam went relatively well this morning. Now it's time to make sure I'm ready for my Differential Diagnosis practical tomorrow afternoon. Training today went well and I wasn't trying to hit any big rep number on deads, but I would have kept going if I had been aware of how many reps I had actually done on my final work set. I thought I was around 6 reps or so, but I actually ended up doing 9, which I only discovered because I took video of it to see how I am progressing. I attribute my poor counting skills to filling my brain to the brim with PT info the last several days.
Deadlift
10x45
10x135
5x225
3x315
5x385
5x445
9x500 - I felt good for at least 12 here.
Trap Bar Deads
2x10x430 - I was planning on a minimum of 3 sets here, but had some slight stupidity going on in the area of my left trap (leftover from benching on Monday) and decided to stop after 2 sets. I should note it was very minor and the only reason I let it change my plan for the day was because I have a competition in a week and a half, which historically magnifies my chances of doing something stupid exponentially.
Double TKE/Blast Strap Hamstring Curls
20x avg band/20xBW
20x 2 avg bands/20xBW
Marc and I cut training here because we wanted to go over some things for our DDX practical tomorrow.
