Total Body

Warm up:Mobility, Pumps and Bear Crawls

DeadLift 5 x 1 3mins rest
100 x 1, 130 x 1, 150 x 1, 165 x 1 failed, 165kgs x 1 failed

Comment: Didn't feel like it was there today found the 150 tough enough. Still I wanted to have a go for a new PR and am happier to do this and fail (without injury) than lift something that I already knew I could. Grip was the most noticible factor today - maybe all the sandbag work is taking a high toll.

Oh sure. Blame the sandbag. I still need to make one. I was at the hardware store today stocking up on steel and I forgot to even look for the inner bags.
That is not a bad single compared to your max. You can't expect to hit a new PR every time you pull singles. I say give yourself a pat on the back.

Yup, a 150kg single is nothing to laugh at. As I am learning, once the big jumps are made in DL-ing, its much harder to make steady progress.

On the other hand you did make a huge breakthrough when you put them down for an extended period of time and worked ETK. Perhaps its time to cycle back again.

How could I get mad at sandbag - my fav peice of kit at present.

Not sure if I came across in my post as very disappointed but I can tell you I'm not. Just reporting the facts guys - I am very happy with my DL progress and have patted my back often this year :)

I don't veiw my overall strength as my biggest weakness anymore so there will indeed be a change in focus to my training in the coming weeks.

Any metcon yesterday? Are you taking suggestions as to the nature of the change? I say wii-fit or a folk dancing class.
