Giving Thanks for the Deadlift
Submitted by Turbulence Training Blog
This is Thanksgiving Weekend here in Canada, marking the date in 1493 when Christopher Columbus’ 18 year old son first discovered Montreal where you can legally drink at age 18. Or so the legend goes…
To celebrate, I deadlifted. Big dinner tonight. We do the Thanksgiving Dinner on Sunday rather than Monday. Great day here, I’ll take BallyTheDog on a big walk through the nearby “Old Grove”.
Lats were a little sore from yesterday’s TT Bodyweight 500…man, that was a great workout. Today was Workout B from Turbulence Training 2K4. This is week 4 of this program. I also noticed my weight is waaaay down, lighter than I’ve been in years. 173.5. Even my jeans with a 32 inch waist are falling down. Moving over to TT for Meatheads 2.0 next - gotta get back into the 180’s.
1A) Deadlift - 325×4 (overhand), 365×3, 380×1
1B) DB 1-Arm Standing Shoulder Press 75×4,3
2A) BB Bulgarian Split Squat - 115×2x8
2B) DB RDL - 100×2x8
3A) Stability Ball Leg Curl - 3×20
3B) Cable Abs - 2×12
Re-read Body for Life last night as well. Powerful stories. Just like the ones at the TT Transformation Contest site. Body-For-Life proves that NO ONE has any excuse.
Go down to your library and grab it. It’s a quick read.
Get inspired,
Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS
PS - Someday I hope to give away a car as a prize like Body for Life…
…although I’m not sure anyone would want my ‘97 Maxima (even though it is a sweet ride with a great factory stereo).
Until then, I’ll just be giving away CASH and membership prizes to the winners. Check out the latest TT Contest Winners here:
