As you may have gleaned from the post title, this was a long day at the gym. Deadlifts were first up: 5×1 using 90% of my max.
310 x 1
310 x 1
310 x 1
310 x 1
310 x 1
That was tough, especially towards the end. I really need to focus on my hips driving forward to make this motion smooth, but I think I had really solid form on at least 2-3 of the 5 sets. On the others, my form wasn’t pristine, but it wasn’t terrible or dangerous.
The push-ups, since I’m committed to not missing another week. I did 20-25-20-20-29 today, and the last set called for at least 28. These felt easy today, so I’m hoping it was progress and not me cheating my form. Of course, they could’ve just felt easy compared to the deadlifts.
Finally, the metcon; three rounds for time of:
20 KB swings (50lb dumbbell)
20 Abmat sit-ups
20 box jumps (18″)
Not much fun, but I finished it up in 8:39. Needed to rest less frequently than I thought I would, and ended up with a time I’m pleased with.
