Yay Deadlifts!
Back felt pretty good today so I decided to work up and see if I could go heavy on these. I believe I did
135x8, 225x6, 315x3, 335x3, 335x3, 355x3, 365x3.
The 365 on the last set was a new 3RM for me, I have been trying for that for a while.. Strengthening up my hook grip has definitely helped on multiple rep deadlifts. HSPUs were fine, unbroken on all sets. Treated those more as a tricep warmup than anything for the hell that I was about to embark on.
(If you are reading this and you are not hook gripping yet, start now. Deal with the first week of discomfort in your thumb and you will thank me. Mike Burgener would make you do burpees for everytime you touch a barbell and you are not hook gripping.)
WOD - "Stairway to Heaven"
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
Ring Dips
HR Push ups
30 yard OH Walking Lunge 45# between each round
Time -16:58
This was a sneaky little bugger. I blew through the first bunch of rounds without a ton of trouble (I think I looked up at the clock when I was on my lunge post-"round of 6 reps" and I was at like 7 minutes. So the next 5 rounds totally buried me even though the reps kept dropping. The OH Lunge turned out to be the total limiting time factor. The rest just burned out your triceps and made holding the weight overhead that much more uncomfortable. But mainly my ass was just tired once we got midway and the last couple rounds were a mental struggle to keep going on every lunge.
Overall I am happy with my time because my dips and pushups went very fast, but the lunge was what it was. Just a mindfuck.
My bum is going to be sore tomorrow.
Sitting on the toilet in the AM should provide some excellent moans, groans, and facial expressions.
