Deadlift Day

Conventional stance deadlift:
all these sets used the quaded mini bands which are 150? 200? lbs at the top. No one knows for sure.

135 x 10
185 x 10
225 x 10
315 x 6
315 x 5
415 x 1
455 x 0 (fail)

With no belt and not having deadlifted with conventional stance in 5 months, I crumpled half way up the 455. So what it was 600+ at the top, i should have gotten it. I will attempt this at some point once my core is more used to handling heavy weight.

suspended-bar good-mornings with the cambered bar:
135 x 10
225 x 10
(cut short)

I was supposed to do a giant lower back workout, but the plan changed based on the workout preferences of my friend Scott, who showed up right as I was starting the good-mornings


cambered bar box squats:
I wasn't planning on squatting, but oh well. These were done off a 14" box, which is a few inches below parallel for me.

135 x 10
225 x 10
275 x 5
275 x 3

Still beat up on squatting from monday. I didn't really want to push myself on these too hard so I could still recover.

dumbbell lunges:
we did these off an elevated box where you had to step down backwards. There's probably a name for this, but who knows.

100 x 8
110 x 8
120 x 8
130 x 8


Hamstring curls w/ bands:
Secure the green band to a stationary object, loop through the heels and sit on a bench facing forward. It's like a seated hamstring machine with variable resistance.

4 sets til failure (10-16 reps).


reverse hyperextensions:
270 x failure for two sets.
