Headed to the compound today to do some deadlift work. I felt good and was excited to get out there today. Here is what I did…
Warm-ups
Stationary bike (3 minutes), rolling, stretching, hammer curls
Deadlifts
135 for 2 sets of 5 reps
225 for 5 reps
315 for 3 reps
405 for 3 reps
495 for 2 reps
495 plus 4 chains for 3 reps
Leg press- unilateral
Empty sled for 20 reps
1 plate per side for 20 reps
2 plates per side for 4 sets of 20 reps
Back attack
1 plate for 10 reps
2 plates for 3 sets of 10 reps
Cable crunches
50 for 5 sets of 20 reps
Hip rotations
20 reps per leg for 2 sets
Deadlifts felt heavy and slow. It was really cold but I expected the weight to move better and not feel as heavy. I knew at 225 things were off but didn’t expect to feel so sluggish.
