Deadlifts

Workout 3 July 2009:

Deadlift, seven sets of one rep

Results: 205/215/225/225/225/225/225lbs
Previous best: 285/295/300/305/305/310/310lbs (8 Mar 09)

Since my back has felt pretty good recently, I decided to do some moderately heavy deads. I focused on proper form, ensuring my lower back did not become rounded. The lifts felt good so I should be able to go up another 10-20lbs next time. Still quite a bit off from my PRs, but no use buying more recovery time.

On any day with heavy sets of 1 or 3 rep(s), make sure you rest at least 3-5 minutes between sets.

Mark Rippetoe Quote of the Day:
"Yes, it is the law here that un-aged cheese must be made from pasteurized milk. I mean, really, what good is having a federal government if it can't make eating cheese safer for everybody?

Imagine the landscape littered with the corpses of innocent children whose immune systems were not up to the challenge. Is that what you really want?"
