Feeling Dead

The schedule had deadlift with chains but I don't have 2 lengths of chain that are the same so I just did regular deads. I was weeeeeeaaaaak. Here's what got done:

DEADS:

135lb x10

165lb x5

185lb x3

205lb x1

225lb FAIL. It didn't even budge. I then tried sumo and only the right side moved a little. I tried conventional again, and only the right side moved a little. 

185lb x3

PARTIALS:

This is going to need an explanation because I have no easy way to explain what I did!

135lb to shin, pause, complete the lift. (Lower to shin, bring back up x3) lower to floor. I did that 3x. took a break, then did it another 3 times. 

RACK PULLS:

(below knee)

(185lb x2) 2x

By this time, my back was toast. I moved on to accessories.

BANDED GLUTE KICKBACKS:

done with the purple band - 40-80lbs of resistance.

(x10 ea leg) 5x

GOBLET SQUATS:

(35lb KB x6) 5x

DONKEY KICKS:
(30lb DB x6 ea leg) 5x

I was certainly not feeling very strong today and the numbers prove that. There was a time when 185lbs came up at least 8 times, now, 2 is a struggle. not only are my legs and back weak, but my grip is lacking as well. The good news is that all of those things are in my control. Pain management is also within my control, so I'm off to take some ibuprofen before I'm totally incapacitated. I'm not the founder of the Bandaid Brigade for nothing! 😉
