Sunday 26 Feb 12

CFDC

Complete 5 rounds of:

5 deadlifts @ 70-75% of 1 RM (275#)
Rest 30 seconds
Max hollow-position hold
Rest 90 seconds

Then, complete 3 rounds of:

Max toes-to-bar
5 Floor touches/leg
10 dolphin push-ups
25 squats
Rest 2 minutes

Notes: Today's session was a a great compliment to yesterday's Open workout. My body was a little trashed from all of the burpees, so it was great to return to emphasizing proper positioning on both the deadlifts and hollow-position holds. I've been using 355# as my 1 RM, but opted to use 275# for this workout, which was slightly above the prescribed 70-75%. I wanted to push myself a little bit. I had some difficulty maintaining back positioning on the deadlifts, and the hollow-position holds were brutal, as always. I need to continue working these and planks. I hit 20 toes-to-bar on my first set, which is a personal record. The dolphin push-ups and squats were a great way to work through some discomfort but not trash the body too badly. I'm glad our intensity was backed-off somewhat today because I wouldn't have been able to kick it up a gear.
