| Tried some new assistance work: double over hand deficit deadlifts. |
Today called for 465x3, but because of the size of the plates I dont think that combination would have fit on the bar along with the collars, so I upped the weight to 475lbs. I'm also thinking ahead to next week where I'd like to pull 500 for reps -- I'm thinking the heavier weight this week might better prepare me. Anyway, last cycle I pulled 475x6, so I wanted 7 reps today to best that workout. I got the 7, but I think I had some unintentional bounce on reps 3 and 4 (although, watching the vid in slow-mow, it does come to a stop), so it's a bit difficult to compare the two workouts, which is frustrating. What I can say for sure, though, when comparing the two videos, 475 moved much faster for those initial reps than they did last cycle...so I got that goin' for me.
Afterwards I felt like trying something new, so I did some deficit deadlifts with a hooked grip. I've not tried either deficits or hook grip before, but I liked them. Hopefully these will help me be more explosive off the ground (and to carry that momentum through to help me with my crappy lockout).
Goals for today:
365x3
410x3
465x3+
Lifted:
365x3
