Went to do singles (6-8) at 280-300lbs: then THIS happened.
SQ: 3x3@ 155/ 2x3@ 205/ single @ 265/ 17 X 1 @ 285, all done in 25 minutes (because anyone can do just 16). Ridiculous, yes…but fun!!! Started going EMOM, got bogged down around #10, cranked it back up and finished fast. Vids to follow.
Belt SQ: 2x5@ 500 (to much!), 3x8@ 300…slowly.
OHP: 2x5@ 95/ 6x3@ 135.
For the record: Yes, 10-12 reps…may have been enough, and Yes I know depth was not constant (and I don’t care)
Done. Ate my chocolate custard at the bus stop…and went home.
It must have been getting serious by 17 because clothes started coming off. Thank goodness they were singles or else you may have been accused of doing cardio
Glad you had fun with this!
Very serious; another few reps, and I was down to my Grrr-animals briefs:)
A little stiff from Sat. night, but not bad. Been eating a bunch since then, which helps of course. I’ll do a more sensible EMOM/ Pendlay session for Deads later in the week; you know, for fun!
Slept thru my Tuesday alarm; no lifting before work. No alarm on Weds, slept 11 hours 21 hours in the last 2 nights; playing catch up?? Whatever it was, I feel great going into my weekend.
Thurs/Fri/Sat will be big training days, with eating and recovery to match!!
Fascinating.
BE: 2x6@155/ 2x3@ 188/ 3@ 220/ 1@ 242,264/ 3x1@ 284 (slingshot)/ 3x5@ 155 (close). Slingshots= not very slingy.
DL: 3x3@ 185 (con. and sumo) All conventional: 3x1@ 245/ 1@ 295/ 6x3@ 345 (85%). Couple vids up soon; little shaky on the last set.
3 x 100’ with 85lbs water keg. 1 minute in between.
For the record, Brute Fury (yes, ‘THE’ Brute Fury) was witness to the final lap. So impressed, she was last seen sitting in a chair, and yawning in my general direction
Fatigue setting in here. You can see how dis-jointed I was getting: knees pop forward…hips dropping back, not very smooth at this point but, I did power through it. I’d hit 308 for a single, a few times before, but NEVER tried for more. I’ll track it as my 3-rep max at 308lbs.
last max was 336lbs, in a meet 2 months ago btw; so that’s cool
21 hours in the last 2 nights; playing catch up?? Whatever it was, I feel great going into my weekend.
