Deadlift Day - Cycle 5

Deadlift Day
Cycle 5


Overall Impression:
cool workout. i need to get in more food pre workout. my pre workout meal was just milk and whey. shite! good workout though...
The Workout:
Deadlifts
- 250 lbs x 5 reps x 2 sets
- 135 lbs x 6 reps
today was a back-off day. got in everything nice and easy. i used a snatch grip for 135x6.

Bulgarian Squats
- 50 lbs x 8 reps x 2 sets

Glute Ham Raises
- BW x 10 reps x 3 sets

Ab Work
- Hanging Leg Raises = BW x 15 reps x 2 sets
- Front Plate Squats = 25 lbs x 8 reps x 2 sets
so on squat and deadlift day i will be doing Hanging Leg Raises & Front Plate Squats and on military press and bench press day i will do Lat Pull Down Sit-ups & Overhead Side Bends. a note about this exercise: if you hold the plate in front of you down on the Front Plate Squats in the bottom position for 5 seconds and then you come up, your abs get jacked!!! lol

Grip Work
- Static Holds + Shrugs = 135 lbs x 10 reps x 2 sets
- Medium Fat Bar Static Holds = 115 lbs x 2 sets
this was pretty intense because i held the bar till failure...
