Training 18/12/12

Deadlift and high volume upper back

Today I decided I'd test my deadlift a bit. Went as follows:

Raw deadlift (no belt)
worked up to 250kg x2

Raw deadlift (belt)

270kg x1


300kg x1


317.5kg x1


This is a raw pb for me and really didn't feel too tough. It felt like there was a 330kg there. Especially if I were able to drop the bar. The gym I'm deadlifting in (Centaur) is like 5 floors up and so I can't drop my deadlifts.

I left out the speed sets as I felt that a heavy single was enough.

Rope climbs x10

Wide grip chest supported barbell rows 120lb x50, x30, x28 (These were 3 sets of max reps and there was about 2 minutes break between each set)

Barbell band resisted shrugs with straps 170kg bar weight with 12" mini band 4x12
Barbell band resisted shrugs with straps 120kg bar weight with 12" mini band x50

Bodyweight rows on gymnast rings x12
superset with
Hammer curls 30lb x12
This superset was completed 3 times

All in all a decent workout and also buzzing as I passed my written finals. One step closer to doctoring next year! :)

Thanks for reading
