Hammin' It Up

I know my legs are weak. Tonight drove that point home. Sometimes the simplest movements with the weeniest weights will put you in your place. I thought tonight was squats, but it was actually max deadlift night. That means not a lot of volume. Here's what got done:

DEADLIFTS:

135lb x8

135lb x5

145lb x3

165lb x1

185lb x1

205lb x1 MAX

I didn't try for any more because I knew from the way my back felt that it wasn't a good idea.

GOOD MORNINGS:

(95lb x6) 2x

HAMSTRING CURL:

(10" mini ball x10 / mini ball abductor squeeze; 2 sec x10) 3x

DONKEY KICKS:

10lb x10 ea leg

(10lb pulse x10 / x5 regular kicks / pulse x10 / x5 regular kicks / pulse x10) 1x ea leg

10lb x10 ea leg

I knew I wouldn't be as strong as the last time I did this program, I was at a max of 210lbs on my deadlift back then. I was surprised that I had only fallen back by 5lbs. That's encouraging, anyhow. All in all, an OK night. I mean, I'm not shouting from the rooftops, but I'm pleased going into my rest day. Now for dinner.
