Beginning Thoughts:
My entire posterior chain is sooo sore today I am surprised I was able to even lift the barbell for Deadlifts. In other news...Hancock releases today and although I do not have high hopes for this movie, I do predict it to be better than Wanted. I am gonna go see it tomorrowWorkout:
On a side note, as per this program, I have to do the following for Deadlifts in the upcoming weeks:
Week 3 = 6 sets x 5 reps
Week 4 = 2 sets x 5 reps
The problem is: I am going back home to Bombay during these two weeks (and for the first 2-3 weeks of Phase 3 of Maximum Strength) and the barbells I have back home do not have the amazing knurling my school gym barbells do. So, I will probably lower the weight if the chalk I use doesn't work out for me.
Started off with 5x5 on Broad Jumps...these were kinda hard actually. I don't know the distance I jumped but I did try to jump the most I could.Overall Impression:
Followed that with some 5x5 Deadlifts. I was supposed to do elevated deadlifts but I didn't know what to elevate them with. So I have made a modification and I am going to be doing regular deadlifts right now and once I fly back to Bombay I will do elevated deadlifts for the remaining 2 weeks of this Phase. Videos for todays Deadlifts are right here, but before that I want to mention some things. Firstly, I am not quite certain about my form. I believe I should've used more leg drive on some sets/reps if not on all. Ok, here go the vids;

Then, it was time for some Reverse Lunges and Palloof Presses. Both exercises are awesome IMO
I hope everyone is having a good week so far
