CFDC (Squat cycle: 8 of 16)
Squat 3 x 5 @ 85%
242#
Touch-and-go deadlift 1 x 3 @ 35%; 1 x 3 @ 50%; 3 x 3 @ 65%
135; 185; 245
Mobility work against the wall
Notes: I survived. That's about all I can say. Each working set took me to my absolute limit. I rounded down to 240#, and that was probably a good idea -- rounding up to 245# may have resulted in failure. The first two reps on each set were solid; however, after that point, each rep became progessively more difficult, culminating in an absolute grinder of a fifth rep. I had to yell as loud as I could to drive past the sticking point. Although, watching the set on video, it's interesting to see that the set didn't look as difficult as it seemed. So, that's a positive, which leads me to believe that I might have more in the tank. We move to 5 x 3 at 90% (256#) next week. That will be no joke. I liked the touch-and-go deadlifts, but the volume was very light. I kept a double-overhand grip and blew through the working sets, even though I scaled up to 245#. Really enjoyed the mobility work against the wall -- some brutal stuff.
