Back workout
Friday, April 18th, 2008Wow, I haven’t written a blog in so long…Anyways, today was my deadlift/back workout, the usual Friday. My last deadlift workout before my first ever powerlifting meet next Saturday, April 26th. I’ll be competing for 100% Raw in the 220 lb class.
I warmed up with 135, then added a 45 on each side each set. I was working up to my opener, which was going to be 455, but I got 455 really easy and my friend Matt suggested I try 475 and see how that feels. Again, I got 475 easily, which is my personal best lift up to that point. The next set, I attempted 500, which would be a new personal best. Damn!!!!! I was slow getting it up past my knees, but once I cleared my knees, it was good from there. A new personal best lift!!!!!!500!!!!! I attempted 515, but could not get it off the ground.
After I was done with deads, I did 4 sets of rows, lat pulldowns, standing pressdowns to my stomach squeezing my lats (sort of hard to explain), and then back extensions. After I finished my work out, I went to grab something to eat, then headed back to my apartment. But first, I had to fill up the tank and check the oil. I am driving down to Virginia Tech to visit my cousin who is a freshman there, and my sister, who is visiting from Charlotte. Of course, not until I get in my last workout where I will work up to my opener for bench. I’ll let you all know how everything goes!!
