Haven't logged for a while. Been bending me knees, lying down, and picking stuff up. Thats about it really.
Deadlifts: 200kg 5x3
Some conventionals with the axle for grip work.
Some CGBP. I think 115kg 3x6, 135kg 2x2
Some squats. 395 3x3 and 420x2 belt, some b/w. I think 465 3x3 and 490 2x2
Oh and more bench... I think I did 320 5x3
Today's session:
Week 3, Saturday AM:
Medium grip BP (pinky on ring) with ~25lb of chain:
135 x6
185 x6
225 x6
245 x6
265 x6 - 6rep PR and very easy
*slingshot
295 x6
315 x6
335 x6
355 x5 - again, 6rep PR but fairly tough. Essentially locking out 380lb so triceps were dying
Did some incline BP cause I suck at it: 175 3x10
Lat pulldown: 160,170,180,190 4x8
Yup. So a good week other than 2 things:
1. My hands always hurt when I deadlift. Need to figure it out. Any suggestions are welcome. I have started using a pomous (sp?) stone and some burts bees cream. Hope it will help.
2. My back never fully recovered from that subluxated rib. Been rolling and it helps but I wake up stiff with a bit of pain running down to my tailbone. Feels OK after warmup but I think I will deload sq/dl about 10% this week. Again, suggestions are welcome.
Strap up for the deads, I wore straps for 4 months straight and it didn't effect my grip at all. I warmup to 210 without, and pull some of my partials without but I'd say I wear straps for 75% of all my pulling reps
ReplyDeleteGood to know. I have been using them regularily but am a bit nervous about it. Glad to hear it didn't have a negative effect on your performance.
