MAXIMUM STRENGTH by Eric Cressey

Phase 4: Peak
Week 15 - Very High Volume
Lower Body One

Beginning Thoughts:

The weekend has been good so far. I have 3 exams and 2 papers due next week so I am busy studying...arg.

Workout:

I began the workout with some Deadlifts @ 90% of my 1RM (1RM = 365 lbs). 335 lbs felt pretty heavy. I did 9 singles. I then proceeded to do some Speed Deadlifts @ 70% of 1RM. 255 lbs felt sort of heavy too.. I proceeded to do Reverse Lunges with a Front Squat Grip. This was damn damn hard. Lastly, I did some Pallof Presses. I like this exercise.

Deadlifts @ 90% of 1RM = 335 lbs x 1 rep x 9 sets

Speed Deadlifts @ 70% of 1RM = 255 lbs x 1 rep x 8 sets

Reverse Barbell Lunges with Front Squat Grip = 65 lbs x 8 reps x 4 sets

Pallof Press = 27.5 lbs x 10 reps x 4 sets

Overall Impression:

Very tiring workout. I am drained. Tomorrow is another heavy Upper workout and then I have a week of relaxation after which it is time to max out. Meh...

Have a good week everyone
