Three working sets of 5 reps at 85% of 1RM. On the face of it feels like a simple prescription in my workout journal but damn it felt heavy tonight.
I mentioned this last month but deadlifts have a weird vibe this cycle. I am lifting more weight with greater volume than last year. My lifting videos look solid and team mates are casting a critical eye over my form and giving it the thumbs up. Now the effort required feels very challenging but I just keep hitting rep targets even when I feel there is no chance I will get the reps on the last set. Regardless my new mantra is not to over think the details so I am just getting on with it.
I backed up the work sets with 5 sets of double pause deads and finished off with paused volume benches. It felt like a long session tonight anf given I started training at 6:30 after starting work at 5:30 am no wonder I am stuffed now though I am currently enjoying post Friday work-out bliss with a belly full of Chinese food.
Tomorrow PTC Perth are holding a PA power lifting comp so get down and support the lifters.
Stay Strong
