The Devil's Lair: Moar Deadlifts

Pin Pulls against quadded minis: 185x3
225x3
265x3
285x1
305x1
315x1
335xMiss

Ted said that I missed the last one because I was loose at the start(but my form overall was better). I need to work on pulling the slack out of the bar, and of course, getting stronger hamstrings. Ted said that the bands were ~180 or so at the top. Good to know my lockout is pretty strong.

Cambered Bar Suspended GM's: 150x5
180x5
200x5
220x5, 5, 5

These felt awesome in a really brutal way. I really feel these in the glutes/hams, which is exactly where I need work.

PROWLER (plate count is total weight on prowler): 2 plates x 2 trips
2plates + 2 25's x 2
4 plates x 2 (this sucked)

Reverse Hyper and Abs to finish.

I have been learning the conjugate system from Ted, and he wants me to keep with the westside methods while I am still at UCLA. I figure it can work like this:

Monday: ME Lower
Tuesday: DE Bench
Thursday: DE Lower
Saturday: ME Bench

He has me using straight weight for most of this, so its all good.

The Devil's Lair: Deadlift

So it was deadlift day today. I started out with my conventional DL. Hillary told me to really get tight behind the bar and load my hamstrings. I felt it on the later sets, but my hamstrings are weak so it didn't help.

Conventional: 315x1
345x1
365x1 PR

Then Ted had me put on my suit to see what my sumo looked like. Ted gave me a bunch of pointers (which in the end amounts to what Dave does in his pull - Good Job Dave). Ted mandated that I pull sumo for the meet.

Sumo pulls: 275x1, 1, 1
315x1, 1, 1

Chain-Suspended Giant Cambered Bar Good Morning (Feet on Fire): 110x5
150x5
180x5, 5, 5

I really like these. The camber makes the movement a lot easier on the shoulders and this really hammered my hams (lol).

PROWLERRR: 25's x 2 trips
45's x 4 trips (Was only supposed to do 2 trips but I forgot)
45's + 25's x 2 trips (hard)

And the regular warm-up sled, rev hyper, and abs apply. Been pushing the weight/reps on these every workout. I have the feeling I'm going to come back 10 lbs heavier with most of that being on my lower back.


ALSO, Dave. We need a cambered/Safety squat bar and a sled/prowler. These things are awesome. Possibly a Monolift as well (just kidding about that one).
