MAX EFFORT

Today was nice, simple and very energizing. I hadn't done max effort deadlift in a while si I decided to test it today. I was shocked to find I did 1.5 x bodyweight which is 40# heavier than my last effort.

deadlift max effort

8 x 135#
1x 225#
1x 245#
1x 265#
1x 285#
1x 295#

rest as needed in between

worked on the Burgener Warm Up after as well as active stretches.

Max Effort DeadLift

Effort 9/10

2x CFWU and Burgener WarmUp

deadlift 135# x3, 135# x3, 225# x3, 245#x1, 255# x1

255# is actually a PR for me so it was a good day. Didn't help the hams much as they were still sore today. I can only imagine what they will be like tomorrow. As it is a metcon tomorrow I have a feeling I will mod it somehow or it will be a lower effort day.

Deadlift

Today was a good workout.
CFWU x2
95# deadlift x3
145# x3
235# x2
255# x2
275# failed attempt
235# x2
Total Weight 2170#

Drills: 50 double unders
Hang Tucks 3 sets 30 sec. each

I gotta say, today was a good day! I am starting to get the hang of the double under and when I'm not, I'm whipping myself with the rope because it's rotating so damn fast. I have the welts to prove it too. The price you pay I guess. I'm happy with the lifts as well. I can tell I'm getting stronger. Not as strong as I'd like but it's progress.
