M3 W1 Deadlift Day

Winter 2008 Training
Mesocycle 3 - Week 1
Deadlift Day

Beginning Thoughts:

I got back to Bombay at 4:00 am today. I took a 2 hour nap before my gym session. I slept a lot on the plane though - I love sleeping on planes: it makes me feel like as if I am in a cradle. I love it when there is turbulence haha...

Workout:

Anderson Squats:
@ 92% = 115 kgs (253 lbs) x 1 rep x 6 sets
@ 100% = 125 kgs (275 lbs) x failure x 2 attempts
I failed at hitting 275 lbs. I failed while coming up. The bar slid down my body both times.

Speed Deadlifts:
@ 50% = 90 kgs (198 lbs) x 2 reps x 7 sets

Unilateral Box Squats:
Density Training @ 12 minutes
6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 42 reps

High Cable Rows:
75 kgs x 6 reps x 4 sets

Head Supported Dumbbell Rows:
20 kgs x 10 reps x 3 sets

Bar Rollouts:
8 reps x 3 sets

Overall Impression:

It was a pretty decent workout. I wish I had gotten those singles with 125 kgs. That would've been swell! Oh well...next time...

Have a good weekend everyone!
