Cycle 16
Overall Impression:
today was a pretty shitty workout on the whole.The Workout:
Mobility Drills
i did a whole bunch of mobility drills to work on hip flexibility and mobility issues which i have recently built up.
Snatch Grip Deadlifts
- 185 lbs x 6 reps x 3 sets
felt pretty ok. after the mobility work my hips were feeling a lot better so i was able to do these with better form that before.
Rack Deadlifts
- 315 lbs x failure x 3 attempts
- 225 lbs x 6 reps x 2 sets
this is a new exercise for me. i havent done these ever. i set the bar at the lowest level on the platform but unfortunately im so short that it came to rest just above my knees. so i got a small platform and stood on top of it. now the bar was at my knees or a little under. 225 lbs felt a lot easier than 315.
Glute Ham Raises
- 8 reps x 2 sets
Ab Work
- Hanging Leg Raises = 5 lbs x 12 reps x 2 sets
- Overhead Plate Sidebends = 10 lbs x 12 reps x 2 sets
Grip Work
- Dumbbell Curls = 40 lbs x 2 reps x 2 sets
- Barbell Curls = 65 lbs x 5 reps x 2 sets
