“Week 3”

  • 5/3/1 – Deadlift (working max: 355#)
    • 1x5x145 (warmup)
    • 1x5x185
    • 1x3x214
    • 1x5x270 (work)
    • 1x3x305
    • 1x4x340 (PR)
  • Foam Rolling

I have to get into the office early, so it was a “Jack Shit” sort of day.

Still, a nice PR of 4×340. True PR.

However, I noticed when I started pulling my butt lifted and the weight didn’t. I was pulling more with my back than my posterior chain. Not good. Why? Not sure. Could be that I’m not strong enough. Could be the diet. Not really sure.

But… given all the factors of what’s going on, I think I’m going to reset. Thinking back, I’ve never done a true deadlift reset… a minor “holding pattern” a few cycles back, but that’s all. I think given the diet change, today’s performance… I think a reset would be good. I’ll probably drop 20# on the working max and go from there.
