Sunday 22 Jul 12

CFDC

Pre-class:  handstand practice

Deadlift 5-5-3-3-1-1-1

225-255-275-295*-315*-325*-335*

*with belt

Then, as team of 4, work through each station twice:

Station 1:  20 ring dips, V-hold, 10 ball slams (40#), rest
Station 2:  20 toes-to-bar, plank hold, 20 jump squats, rest

Notes:  Really excited about today's performance.  It was neat to revisit deadlifts in between the squat cycle and Olympic weightlifting cycle.  As crazy as it sounds, this was the first time that I've pulled anything over 285# in over a year!  I've dealt with various lower back issues and have avoided any heavy singles.  Today, I pulled a solid rep at 335#.  My personal record is 355#, but I'm liked my form much more today.  I decided to use the belt on the heavier sets.  I think it's a smart move for me right now.  My goal is still to pull 405#; not sure if I'll ever get there.  Now it's time to start focusing my energy on Olympic weightlifting and higher rep squatting.
