M24 W1 Deadlift Training

DEADLIFT TRAINING - Mesocycle 24 Week 1

This is yesterday's training....

Deadlift Warm-ups:
Mobility Drills
135 lbs x 7 reps
245 lbs x 5 reps
295 lbs x 5 reps
345 lbs x 3 reps
385 lbs x 3 reps
415 lbs x 2 reps

Deadlift Work Sets following Poliquin's 5/1 Principle:
465 lbs x 1 rep
435 lbs x 3 reps <<-- Failed on 4th because I didn't rest enough and my grip was unequally placed
470 lbs x 1 rep
435 lbs x 4 reps
475 lbs x 1 rep
I salvaged what I thought was going to be a trainwreck of a workout. I had anticipated 4 reps on the first attempt @ 435 but I used a bad grip - my spacing was unequal and the bar just rolled off. Well, I learnt from that and I took my usual 10 minute rest intervals post that and everything was fine.

Hand Extensions: 2 bands x 25 reps x 3 sets
