strong deficit work Al ,

nice idea with the 25kg plate too

Form was pretty good Al. The only thing I noticed was that your lower back seemed to round during the last few reps. As a mental cue I tighten my lower back before each rep. Not sure if that will help.

Overall though looks good.

Cube Rep Deads - YouTube

Well that was pretty much as hard as I thought it would be. Form needs to be more consistent over the course of the set. Some reps I kept the bar nice and close and some I let it get a bit forward on me. I can get away with it at this weight but as the weeks go on and the weights go up, I won't be able to.

To then do more pulls afterwards was hard. Weight felt light but I had to concentrate really hard on getting tight to make it easy. Great combination.

Ghetto safety bar and super deep squats kicked my a$$ but I sacked up and used the proper weight for the last two sets. More GHRs and abs to finish. All done in around 90 minutes and a horrendous hamstring pump. Good times. I love the deadlift volume on this. It beats me up badly but I feel like I am working to improve my pull which is good.

Great work Al! !!

Thanks Jim. Hoping that doing reps on deads for the first time in over 2 years will make a difference on the platform.

I noticed this when I was doing the snatch pulls last week: I am LAZY about tightening up my lower back before I pull. Need to sort this.

Excited about bench tomorrow night!

I'm jelly - I wish it was my bedtime! I am so sleepy today. Nothing that a few squats tonight won't cure.

Anyhow, SHFB today Al!
