New Month, New Year, New Attitude. Monday -- ME Deadlift + shenanigans

Would normally poop on today's workout but with the solid max effort to start, it's understandable that my plan didn't come together (should have planned differently).

1. Max Effort Deadlift:

• 5 x 135
• 3 x 225
• 3 x 315
• 1 x 365 (PR)
• 1 x 375 (PR)

Good. Used the powder (xmas gift from brother) and maybe it made a difference. I came in with close to no warm up tho ready to get it so that contributed too maybe. It's possible I could have kept increasing since 375 was strong but I was feeling a tiny bit of tension in the back and since I didn't stretch or anything, I opted to stop there and not tempt fate.


2. Bi's and Tri's with DBs - Plan was to poach eggs, but after unsuccessfully attempting a few practice power cleans with 135 I realized that after the come-down of deloading the DL bar I was probably too tired to rock out that circuit (will do with 60lb when I get to it). Wanted to save shoulders and felt like I earned the right to do some isolation work so eh.

3. Light sit-up and back extension finisher to be kind to the back post deadlift- just fell into this once I started doing back extensions and the blood started moving again...

• 10 back extensions
• 35 incline sit ups
• 20 back extensions
• 20 incline sit ups
• 10 back extensions
• 5 deadlift twists with 110lb DB

Did everything pretty continuously/fast...

Weigh in: just under 182

Rest of week:
Tuesday - poach eggs
Wednesday - squats n' more
Thursday - Shoulders
Friday - hard core conditioning

(work in intervals and some fat burners in there too with other stuff)
