Hi.

ok I will post my workouts again. for a while. Did I even post about my meet last month? probably not. Wasn't eventful except I got to use my new map app to get there. I was one of 6 lifters. Not sure if thats even a meet. I figured I would be needed to work at our October meet so this would be my only chance to compete. So I stayed. and competed against 5 guys and one gal.   I went by myself because everyone was busy that day. Since there were so few people lifting, the time between attempts was literally minutes. But even with no recovery time I still managed my 100 bench and a 270 deadlift. Missed both 3rd attempts. Got best lifter. Nothin much to write home about.

So in need of a new direction and new plan, my friend Phil sent me a very cool 9 week program. I am in week 4 already. and I love it. I have a bench day, overhead press day, squat day and deadlift day. I spent the first 3 weeks doing deficit deads and today was my first regular deadlift day.

1) Deadlifts
135 x 8, 5
185 x 5
205 x 3
working sets 80%
225 x 4 sets of 3
225 x as many reps as possible 5 :)
I always get mad when the weight feels heavy. and barely got the 4 sets of 3 in and thought no way was I getting more than 1 rep in for the 5th set. But after 3 I just dove into the darkness and pulled 2 more. It was an awesome close to death experience.

2) Farmer walks one sided with DB
60 x 3 trips each side

3) SLDL's 40% as many reps as possible
115 x 19

4) DB lunges 100 reps
20lbers x 50 each non stop. I went into a different kind of darkness.

Great workout :)
