Deadlifts. Week 1 Cycle 7 | Hill Sprints #38

Is this how you deadlift?

I've finished my round of antibiotics and I'm feeling much better. Anyway, today was deadlifts and the last time for the year that I'll be doing under 4 plates for any final sets. I wanted to make it special! The weight for today, 400lbs, is the weight I had for week 3 way back when I started in cycle 1. On that day I had pulled seven reps...I wanted to annihilate that number.

Goals:

305x5
355x5
400x5

Lifted:


305x5
355x5
400x17


Mission accomplished.










Assistance work wasn't great, and has been on sort of a backwards slide for most of my workouts. I felt pretty much done after my final set, so I don't know if I just blew my wad completely or if I'm still a little affected from being sick. We'll see how it goes. I know Wendler says not to worry if your main lifts are going up and your assistance work isn't.

• Weighted pullups with +45 lbs for 5 sets: 6, 6, 6, 5, 5 reps.
• Ab Wheel: 5 sets of 10 reps.
