Wow!!! Robbie about killed me today. I can’t recall the last time I worked that hard. The no rest sets were a bitch. My chest and arms are shaking. I know I will be super sore tomorrow.
Deadlift:

I think I am overtraining deadlifts. I’m working my butt off, but only going backwards. When I worked my old job I only deadlifted every 10 to 14 days. I now go every week. I’m going to cut way back.
Well, you’re halfway there. Just add about 5 or more minutes of stair climber at end of each workout. That’s plenty I understand. (5 minutes is my limit)

Bench felt pretty good today. It was nice to have my son spot me on 380. I tried svend press with two 35 pound plates. It didn’t work because the plates are too large to get a good grip on.
With the holiday off work I decided to pull on Monday. This gives and extra day of rest. I realized the meet is only about a month away, and I really have not tried a max pull. I’m only really doing for something to do, with no expectations anyway. I’m just looking forward to competing in the same meet as my son. It’s going to be a lot of fun.

Two hours and it felt great! I’ve made the decision I am switching from being a sumo deadlifter to conventional, with only a month to go. I have pulled sumo since I started serious lifting in 2011. I’m just not happy with my progress. I feel I have room for improvement conventional. Plus, I really don’t have any expectations.
Since I was there so long both of my kids showed up at various times. I was able to train with both of them. It was pretty cool.
Good work on the 505 deadlift. How long resting between deads?
No good mornings and rows? Those two things from that Cohn workout you were doing have really helped me.
