Monday is a rest day due to my class schedule. Today was deadlift day. After last weeks rather disheartening workout, I came into this one feeling trepidatious. Last week I had a difficult time getting 305 off the ground for one rep, much less the required 5+.
Today was different. I backed the weight off a bit, and payed close attention to my form, and my lifts definitely benefitted. The workout was Deadlift 3-3-3+ and the rep scheme looked like this (work sets are in bold):
5×45 Romanian Deadlift
5×45 RDL
5×135
5×185
3×225
3×260
3×295
5×335
I’m definitely happier with today’s results. I followed this up with 5×12 Good Mornings (45 lbs bar) and 4×1000m rows. A note for future programing: don’t plan erg pieces on deadlift day. They did not go all that well.
