Dead Workout

Total was Dead day. Deadlifting is by far my favorite. My best pull to date is 240 Kg or 529lbs. Today Went like this.
Warm up - 225lbs, 6 reps Sumo deadlifts. I do sumo's for warm up because they help me get into the right position for conventional deadlifts. They also help stretch out my legs.

Working sets - 365lbs, 3 sets, 2 reps Conventional deadlifts. I was supposed to do six sets at this weight but I was feeling strong today so I did my last 3 sets at 405lbs. This was new for me. I've never done 405lbs for sets before. Ya for me!

Knee up partials - I do heavy partial pulls from my knees to lock out. I find these help me get used to pulling bigger weights. I have had a grip problem in the past as well the partials also help with my grip. 3 sets, 545lbs 1 rep, 585lbs 1 rep, 635lbs 1 rep. 635lbs is a new max lift for me.

Chin ups - As I've said before I weigh about 295lbs so I do my chins with some assistance. With 90lbs of assistance I did 3 sets of 6 reps. I do my chins with a narrow parallel grip. My lats love it.

V-sit ups - For my abs I do 3 sets of 20 reps. I used to do standard sit ups but I found the V-sit ups work my abs just as well with out the same amount of effort.

Hammer Curls - Here my instinctive training philosophy took over and I added some hammer curls. Because I'm a powerlifter not a bodybuilder I do the curls for weight not feel. If I can get the dumbbell up to my shoulder its good enough for me. 3 sets, 50lbs 12 reps, 60lbs 12 reps, 70lbs 12 reps.
during my last set I was really getting psyced up and yelled out. YA! DO IT! I scared a woman working out beside me and she almost fell off her bench. When the big boys play....

Another great work out.

PS: during my training I listen to high energy music. Right now I'm listening to Billy Tallent, Danko Jones, and System of a Down.
