2 Goals Beat!
Legs tonight. Didn’t do quite as much volume as I’ve written out since I’m still getting back into the higher volume and last leg workout really didn’t go so well… Just did 2 sets of everything tonight instead of 3, but after a little warm up I went all out on deadlifts to get a benchmark. Only thing I hate about deads are that I have long legs, so I need to lean forward a little bit to clear my knees. I saw a video of Layne Norton with a "bar" that where stood in the middle of a frame to do deads. Really wish I had one of those! Anyhow… My goal was a projected max of 400. After a light set on 135×12, then 225×12, it was time to just shoot for a nice round 300. Got it up for all 12 reps only having to rest-pause once (with the weight lifted, not on the floor). So that puts my projected max at 432lbs! I’m quite happy with that number, I didn’t expect to get all 12 reps tonight, and I was sure done after the 12th! The rest of the night was a bit lighter to get through everything. So I’ve got a couple more goals left to try and hit by the end of next month… Always stayin’ optimistic!
