Deadlifting for Weight
On Saturday I decided to do a bit of lifting. It was technically a rest day, but I had enough to do on Sunday that I knew I’d have to rest then. I didn’t max out, but I went 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 at 315, 365, 385, 405, 425. It was a pretty good workout. I might have been able to hit a higher weight, but I didn’t want to risk straining my back because I was starting to feel pretty sick and was ending up doubled over. Overall, I wasn’t 100% and I still hit a pretty high weight relatively easily.
Today, I went to workout in the morning with my buddy, Justin, just like I always do. The problem was, I feel like I have about a pound and a half of mucus sitting in my stomach or something. It’s making me feel really awful to be honest with you. I hit out 245 on bench for 2 sets of 6 before having to drop to 225. I did 90s, 95s, 100s on incline DB bench for sets of 8, 8, and 6. That was pretty good.
After those two lifts, though, my workout really went downhill. I felt like I was going to throw up the entire time, but I didn’t want to give in to the sickness. I finished it out strong, using most of my usual weights, but I just didn’t get the pump I usually do. Hopefully the situation is somewhat better tomorrow, but we’ll see.
