DEADLIFT Day

Today was Week 2 of Eric Troy’s “Not that kind of Density” Progression on Deadlifts and I managed to add a rep to the first set so I’m happy. The goal is to keep transferring reps from the last set to the first set (or the second) while maintaining rest intervals and then later if I run into a wall I will begin reducing rest between sets so that I am doing the same work as before but in a shorter time frame. Once I max out on my ability of repping out 90% of my max Eric will have me move on to a higher percentage. It’s all about volume right now. Shifting gears, I want to say that my OHPs are coming along beautifully and if I can hold on to 90 kgs for a double I will be happy. This is more than my bodyweight at present. As long as my BP and OHP keep progressing I won’t really choose between the two but it is going to be a tough choice if it comes down to choosing one of the two for higher training aggression.
