Deadlift

Wednesday, November 4, 2015

Coach Meriah

MBS II (6AM) - Taylor, Chris, about 4 others and me

Warm Up

Run 100m, 10 air squats, Run 100m 10 walking lunges, Run 100m, 10 air squats, Run 100m, 10 walking lunges.  Tabata (20/10) with PVC Good Mornings, Overhead Press, Squat, Bent Over Row.  3 rounds.

WOD

7-7-7-7-7 Deadlift.  Work up to a 7 rep max.

I worked out with Taylor and after warming up with 95#, did my first set at 135#.  I then went up progressively to 155#, 185#, 205# and 225#.  I felt really good about 225#, but Taylor was still going up.  I tagged along at 245#, expecting to bail after 2-4 reps, but made it through 7.  Feeling spent, I did not grab the 265#.


I felt much better about my form and getting set with a neutral back.  Considering the last time I looked for a max deadlift, I only put up 235#, I felt even better about this effort.

We finished with mobility sitting on the floor with legs flared, overhead reach to 1 foot and then the other,folding toward one foot and then the other, figure 4 stretch and rotating both legs together in either direction.
