M2 W3 Deadlift Day

Fall 2008 Training
Mesocycle 2 - Week 3
Deadlift Day

Beginning Thoughts:

I had a Biology exam today....Didn't sleep much last night. Diet has been really shitty these days too...Junk junk and more junk. No wonder I am topping 200 lbs.

Workout:

Deficit Deadlifts:
335 lbs x 3 reps x 5 sets
175 lbs x 6 reps x 2 sets
Damn this was a hard workout. For some reason I just could not activate my glutes to do the lift. I seemed to be using my lower back more than anything. The last 2-3 sets got better but the first couple were pretty bad. 

Banded Speed Deadlifts:
@ 65% = 250 lbs x 2 reps x 5 sets
+ Bands

Front Box Squats:
225 lbs x 3 reps
I genuinely hate this exercise. 

Flat Dumbbell Press:
80 lbs x 6 reps x 3 sets
Yeah!  

DB Rows:
80 lbs x 6 reps x 2 sets
100 lbs x 5 reps x 2 sets
80 lbs x 8 reps x 1 set
I decided to do more upper back work because I think I am forgetting how important the back really is.

Overhead Plate Side-bends:
10 lbs x 10 reps x 2 sets

Overall Impression:

Decent Workout...
