Dead is Right

Went to the 9am class.

Warm-up

  • Bottom Squat Hold
  • 2×10 Reverse Hyper (210#)
  • Speed Toe Touches
  • Hip Circles
  • 5 Inch Worms

Strength

Deadlift

  • 5×155#
  • 5×265#
  • 3×315#
  • 3×355#
  • 1×385#
  • 1×425#
  • 1×455#
  • 5x1x425#

I actually pussed out on my first pull at 455#. Wow, last week I pulled 465# for a triple. Could definitely feel fatigue in the back from all of the heavy deadlifts yesterday. Took a few seconds to gather my head and made 455, then lowered the weight to get in reps. Nowhere near the prescribed 95%, but I’m ok with that. I’m sure I’ll be feeling these lifts tomorrow because even the 425s were no piece of cake.

Conditioning

  • Buy-in: 40 Sit-ups
  • 5 Rounds
    • 8 Thrusters (95#)
    • 16 American KBS (53#)
  • Cash-out: 40 Sit-ups

“Go unbroken. Go unbroken.” That’s what I kept telling myself even if I took a few extra breaths between movements. Finished in 9:34 and pushed the pace more in the last round. My sit-ups are so slow though. 😦

I was going to do a garage workout in the evening, but wasn’t feeling well. Body needed a rest I guess.
