I watched the Deadlift section of Rip's Dvd today and tried to apply what I learnt - set myself up slightly different by having the bar closer to my shins and squeezed my chest up before pulling.
Warm up sets 5 x 12kg felt good and smooth, 5 x 22kg, 3 x 42kg
MONDAY 100118
Deadlift 3-3-3-3-3 reps
52-57-62-67PR-68F only 2 reps
I originally planned 50-55-60-62-64 aiming for 90% of 1RM but it felt good so I upped it so really pleased with 67kg / 148lb.
Downside and the question I'm left with is - todays lifts seemed to much more hamstring dominant, to the extent that I may have pulled them
Not sure if it's from the slightly different pulling position albeit not that different to how I normally pull or just the fact that after the sumo's and well the whole of the last 2 days lower body stuff (included new broad jumps and box jumps for me) had just left my legs pretty tired?? Or maybe a combination of both
Also I'd stopped foam rolling about a 10 days ago as it wasn't hurting anymore, thinking all was good and wondered if I was strecthing too much - somedays took me longer than the workout itself!!!
But after the legs stuff of the last two days my ITB and left knee was twinging last night and I found I had a few trigger points grrrrr and so I thought I'd try foam roller today and OMG!!!! pain, pain and more pain - think I need to foam roller frequently maybe day 1 and 3 of workouts??
