Cube week 5, day 1 -- Deads for speed
B-Ala/creatine mix, dynamic work, no support.
Deadlift, 8x1 @70% (straight weight): 240kg, popped up easily though not fast
Pull off 2" blocks, 1x20 straight weight, snatch grip: 155kg, too easy -- whipped up like I was yanking
Squat, straight bar, close stance, deep, 5x6: 200kg; love these
Barbell shrug with bodyweight on the bar (incl bar), 3x15, tight squeeze to pause at the top
Back raise, 1x60 -- no added weight this time, as I was cramping pretty well by now
Lat pulldown, 4x15
Done. Sweat like a pig.
Feeling pretty good, though maybe a little run down. Brandon wants me to back off the weight on the accessory work a little, but I'm not sure how. Always competing with myself, which is in no way something begging congratulations. It has gotten in the way of excellence more than once.
Shoulder is feeling better. Painted a complex ceiling yesterday for a couple of hours, so I'm a bit surprised that hours of looking up didn't bother me today. Didn't.
Crested 400 posts a couple of days ago -- years of effort. My current log book goes back to 2009... and counting. Thanks for being a part.
