Super Happy Fun-Time Deload Week #1

I didn't bring my belt, so just chalk and headphones for all of this.

Free Back Squat:
blahblahblah
315 x 2
365 x 2
385 x 2
405 x 1

Rippetoe-Style Standing Overhead Press:
185 x 2
225 x 2
245 x 1 (slight push)

So I'll say that might strict overhead max is 235.

Power Cleans:
185 x 2
225 x 2
235 x 2
245 x 1
255 x FAIL

Nuts. Need to keep plugging away on these and perfecting the form.

Standing Ab Pull:
Worked up to:
172 x 3

45" Back Raise:
Bodyweight, 3 x 12-15 (supersetted with the ab pulls)

Why the overhead press on what looks like a leg day? Are you incorporating a variety of stuff on your deload days?

Dear Dave, deload days are the province of the mighty god THOR. I simply enact his chaotic will upon this lowly earth.

Mein Zorn kann nicht verweigert werden, während ich in den himmlischen Strudel tauche!

By what logic is this in any way a deload work out? As far as I see, you went for a heavy single on three movements, then a triple for an accessory.

I do not understand.

What is a standing ab pull and how do you do it?
