Ooof.

“Week 1”

• WORK – Deadlift (working max: 335#)
  • 1x5x135 (warmup)
  • 1x5x175 (supposed to be 170)
  • 1x3x205
  • 1x5x225 (supposed to be 220) (work)
  • 1x5x255
  • 1x8x290
• Asst. #1 – Deadlift
  • 5 x 10/10/8/8/6 x 205
• Foam Rolling

Frak. That’s hard. 🙂

Some weights I rounded up because my brain just didn’t want to fiddle with the plates. I am quite happy with the 8 reps at 290. This is not likely a movement I’ll need to reset.

But on the assistance. Woof. That took a LOT out of me. 2 minute rest breaks? towards the end I certainly wasn’t feeling fully recovered before I started my next set. We’ll see how pushing this (and similarly on squat days) helps my conditioning… which I know I need more direct work on.
