M3 W2 Deadlift Day

Winter 2008 Training
Mesocycle 3 - Week 2
Deadlift Day

Beginning Thoughts:

I was running a high fever today morning and around 2 pm I developed this miserable cold which won't go away. I sneezed 30 times in an hour. I hate this.

Workout:

Anderson Squats Singles:
115 kgs (253 lbs)
120 kgs (264 lbs)
115 kgs (253 lbs)
125 kgs (275 lbs)
120 kgs (264 lbs)

Banded Deadlifts:
Double Looped Bands
@ 50% = 91 kgs (200 lbs) x 2 reps x 4 sets
@ 55% = 96 kgs (211 lbs) x 2 reps x 4 sets
With the double loop this was hard as hell! I think the tension in each band must have exceeded 80 lbs. It was a battle to do this and the whiplash while lowering the bar was pretty intense. This was very very hard.

Unilateral Box Squats:
Density Training @ 12 minutes
7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 49 reps

High Cable Rows:
70 kgs x 6 reps
75 kgs x 6 reps
80 kgs x 6 reps
85 kgs x 6 reps
75 kgs x 10 reps

Head Supported Dumbbell Rows:
20 kgs x 12 reps x 3 sets

Bar Rollouts:
10 reps x 3 sets

Overall Impression:

It was an alright workout....I want to rest and recover now...Hopefully this cold will go by tomorrow. The workout made my fever disappear so I hope the cold follows...I think the cold is an allergy though..
