Sunday Deadlift Personal Best Workout
Submitted by Turbulence Training Blog
Workouts are going great, energy levels are off the charts, and strength in a lot of my exercises is as good as ever…so I was jumping at the chance to do today’s workout. I was going to do it late afternoon, but couldn’t hold off.
I went in, and before I lifted, I wandered into the basketball court and tried to touch the rim. And I can still do it, not bad for a 33-year old, 5′8″ white guy.
After I went straight to deadlifts, and hit a new personal best at 375 overhand grip for 1 rep, no straps. And to my credit, the bar was smooth, and no knurling for grip.
Strength
Overhand grip, 375×1
Alternate grip, 355×5, 355×3 (didn’t do third set)
TT Intermediate Workout A
1A) DB Split Squat - 90×2x8
1B) DB Incline Press - 60×2x8 (went easy, because of Saturday kettlebell workout)
2A) BB RDL - 225×8, 235×8
2B) Pushups - 47
3) Cable Ab Crunches - 4×10
I cut some things out because of time and to be conservative. Sometimes, when you set a big record, you would be wise to cut back on the rest of the workout. I first learned this from Charlie Francis in one of his sprint training books.
This is my last week on the TT Intermediate workout, then I go on holiday for a week (July 5-12), where I’ll do a lot of bodyweight and a lot of kettlebell training.
If you are looking for a new workout, don’t miss the July workout…
