DEADLIFT Day

Dr. Kanishk’s advice on pain management for my right Quad was so helpful and amazing that I felt literally no pain in this entire workout. I am thrilled to have pushed myself to repping out 90% of my max for 8 reps and then rest-pausing a second set for 8 more. For the rest interval I haven’t counted the rest-paused set (it was 2:35) because it will bring the average down. Given that this workout was a real ball-buster, I have reached the end of this phase and my coach Eric Troy is moving me from 90% to 93% next session. I am excited because adding reps to 93% is going to be a real challenge. The target volume for 90% was 15 reps and for 93% will be 10-12 reps but if I add in rest-paused sets at the end like I did today then it could be a little bit more.
