Mediocre Pulls

11 July 2013


Still crippled by soreness from Monday, lower back and legs were fried, so I just did some moderately heavy pulls and assistance work. Tried out snatch-grip DLs for the first time, they felt pretty good. I might start to cycle them with speed and heavy deads, like:

Heavy lower body Week 1 - squat, speed DL
Heavy LB W2 - DL, speed squat
Heavy LB W3 - squat, speed DL
Heavy LB W4 - snatch-grip DL, speed squat, etc.

Deadlift - 135 x a bunch, 225x6, 315x4, 365x3, 405x3, 415x1

Gym was so humid that the bar slipped out of my hands on the second 365 rep.

Snatch-grip DL, straps and from small elevation (barbell on plates) - 315 x 3, 335 x 3 - maybe these should be done for higer reps, less weight?

Bent-over row 135 x 10, 155 x 10, 175 x 10 - kept it super strict, felt good

Speed squat 225 lbs. x 5 sets x 2 - no speed at all, so I stopped

Glute-ham raise 2 x 6

Weighted back extension 2 x 10

Standing band crunch 3 x 20

Leg curls 2 x 10 plus burn-out reps at end of each set
