Deadlift Assistance. Fri. 12/16/11.

**** (TOOK 5 DAYS OFF AFTER THE MEET) ****

Sumo Rack Pulls 4x4 (belted)
315 (@8), 345 (@9), 355 (@10), 335 (@9+)
-> (my calluses near the bases of my fingers were starting to kind of blister underneath so I had to drop the weight for the last set, I was very satisfied with 355x4 though when a month ago I only got 3 reps with that weight).

Stiff-Leg Deadlifts 4x5
205 (@8), 205 (@8), 205 (@8), 205 (@8)
-> (calluses still hurting from the heavy rack pulls so I did slightly lesser weight, probably could have done 225 for all sets but stayed lighter to save hands).

Good Mornings Off Pins 4x8
-> (using the 10th hold up from the floor on the squat rack at the local gym here)
-> (pins were just a little bit above my torso being parallel to the ground)
135 (@8), 135 (@8), 135 (@8), 135 (@8)
-> (my lower back was fried from the rack pulls & stiff-legs)

"Pony Express" Machine Calf Raises 4x10
-> (no weight on the first set & did the remaining sets with only 20 lbs)
-> stayed really light so as not to aggravate my achilles tendons, the goal is to slowly restrengthen calves without re-inflaming the old achilles strains)
(calves were a little tight)

Cable Abs 4x15
50, 60, 70, 70
