DEADLIFTS.

Slept a lot last night, even though it was hot as hell in my house. Ate sushi, chips, and B&J's ice cream. Hmmmmmm.

Coffee, ground turkey, some sugar snap peas beforehand. Training @ 11am.

Warmed up with romanian deadlifts, empty bar, 135, 175, 190 (each x 3)

220x3x7
All successful, felt good and slower than last week but definitely not grinders. Had to be reminded a lot to keep the bar close to my legs.

Assistance:
Bulgarian split squats, 3x10 each leg (10#, 15#, 25#)
Single leg curls with foam roller, 3x12 each leg
Overhead press holds, 55#, 3x35sec

Cashout - planks, 35 sec front and back, 25 sec each side.

After, ate a burger with cheese, bacon, and no bun plus a few french fries. 

Then watched some amazingly strong people throw some huge weight around. Inspiring.

The Best of Days Have Deadlifts

7/15/11 - Graston on the right shoulder.  Epic dinner. Epic sleep. All systems go.

7/16/11 - Breakfast of brisket, potatoes, coffee, etc.

DEADLIFT DAY.

Warmed up with shoulder exercises added in.
Strength:
Work sets @ 115, 165
6x5 @ 87% of 1RM - 210
*Still felt fast-ish, all were touch and go!

Assistance work:
Bulgarian Split squats, 3x10 (1st set, no weight; 2nd set, 10# plate; 3rd set, 12kg KB)
*left leg is weaker
OH hold, 45# bar, 3x35sec (easy)

Planks: 30sec in pushup position, 20 on right, 20 on left, 30 reverse (not awful)

Loved today. So happy with those deadlifts.
