Crossfit: Deadlifts

080611

Deadlift 3-3-3-3-3 reps

Post loads to comments.

Compare to 080425.

Didn't feel like resting today. I was scheduled for a day long business trip tomorrow so I made an effort to get to the gym today and count tomorrow as my rest day. I was a little concerned about doing deadlifts on a scheduled rest day but I felt pretty good during the warm-up so that concern was lifted.

Warm-up
ROM movements, arm swings, toy soliders, grape stompers, butt kicks, all that jazz.

3 rounds of:
10 reps - 15 pound wall ball
10 reps - back extensions

3 rounds of:
6 reps pullups
6 reps dips

Workout
On 080425, I started with 3x225 and finished with 4 sets of 3x295.

Today:

3x225 (Warm up)

3x305
3x305
3x305
3x305
3x305

I then did some bench presses and noticed how much I had improved on those I was benching over 200 pounds pretty easily and I've always been terrible at the bench press.

Then I did 3x10 side bends with a 24 lb bar held overhead and 100 v-ups (not consecutively, that'd be nuts).

His achievements are my goals. Just when I feel like I can catch him - he does this...

Katie said...

Hey, it's always good to have goals... I just wish Splint would stop demolishing everything... it's making me feel bad... :P

oh yeah, like you guys are slouching away on the couch eating Doritos and watching Three's Company re-runs.

We can't control our results, only the effort we put into it. I hazard to guess our efforts are on equal footing.

Hmmm... now that you mention it Splint... that sounds like a good idea... *footsteps walking away* *potato chip bag rustling* *footsteps returning* *couch noises* AHHHHHHHHH.... :) *remote control in hand* *CSI on Spike.* Life is good.... :)

Hey - I don't mind you being "ahead" of me. If I start to pass you - then I'll have to find someone else to chase. Keep leading!
