Deads, Deads and MORE DEADS!

Today was deadlift day! Zach switched up his routine a little so I thought I would give it a try. With this new routine you work your way to 80% of your one rep max, do AMRAP(as many reps as possible) then bump the weight back down and do 5x10. So, today I did a total of 12 sets of deadlifts (warm-up and all).

I worked my way up to 165lbs. I was determined to get 10 reps but was struggling a little and only got 8... BOO!!! I hit my stop watch, rested for a few minutes, belted back up and got ready.... 10!!!! The second time I tried the 165lb, I did it a little more explosive than resting after each rep. It felt great and I was ready for the rest of my workout!

Here is what I did:

Deadlift:

45x5

95x3

115x3

135x3

155x3

165x8

165x10!!! =)

95x5x10

Hanging Knee Ups/Back Extensions/Seated Calf Raises

5x10

KB Swings  

35lb

10 on the minute- 5 minutes total.

Was going for 10 mins but Zach got done earlier than I thought he would so I only had time for 5 minutes.

Disclaimer- Sorry for the end of the video. I was walking to the seated calf raise and someone was on it. My filmer was walking behind me and got a close up of my caboose.

 Finished off with stretching and then came home and ate a delicious plate of organic spring mix, multi-colored bell peppers, mushrooms, egg whites and cinnamon oats! Delicious!!!
