M96C5T1 Deadlifts 219 kgs x 6 reps PR & Overhead Press 87 kgs x 2 reps PR

DEADLIFT Day

This was a very challenging workout and I liking all the volume work I have been doing. Just like I did with 207 kgs (85%), I left a rep in the tank on the first rep-out set. So with 85% of 243 kgs I am able to do 7 reps and with 90% I am clocking in 6 reps. Both were all time PRs and despite that (haha) it still bugs me that first reps of every set are mentally exhausting for me. Here’s why rep predictors are so silly: 6 reps @ 219 kgs means my “estimated” 1RM is 250+kgs so either I got some hidden gains in me or using these tools is just BS haha!

Last time when Eric Troy put a deadlift plan together for me; I had 3 deadlift workouts on rotation. One day was for Banded Deadlifts followed by regular heavy Deadlifts. The second workout was dedicated to supersetting DL and Good Mornings. The last workout was all about doing really heavy and high volume GM work and then following it with supersets of heavy DL and Row variations. So now that we are moving to setting up a new plan for the next few months I am excited to see what is in store for me.

I think some old tools like Graduated Deadlift Struggle Sets, Deficit Deadlifts, volume work on Deadlifts, etc will be brought back into rotation.

Good Mornings:
Warm-up to 135 kgs x 3 reps
@ 84.4% of Benchmark 160

Deadlifts @ 90% of 1RM:
219 x 6 PR
219 x 5
219 x 4
219 x 4
V = 19

Overhead Press:
87 x 2 PR
75 x 5 + 4 = 9 Rest-Paused
65 x 7 + 4 = 11 (+1) RP

Tricep Band Pressdowns:
#1 x 20 x 5 sets

Volume Count:
DL = 19
OHP = 22 (+1)

Tri’s = 100
