DEADLIFT Day
This was a
good workout. I trained earlier in the day and I was expectedly sluggish but
the thing that I am struggling with is the first rep of each Deadlift set. For
some reason it is like the muscles in my legs just refuse to fire and it takes
multiple attempts to break the bar off the floor. You’d think that
psychologically the difference between doing 226 x 5 and 243 x 1 is that with
226 I have to “keep going” till I get 5 reps and with 243 I have to “give it
hell” because I only have 1 rep. But with me they are both the same. My
obstacle is that first rep one way or another. I’ve been complaining about this
for a year now and this problem is just not budging. I will need to speak to my
mentor Eric Troy about this because he will have some neat tricks up his sleeve
to solve this glitch. Apart from this nagging limitation I am super pleased
with the rest-pause set and I think in another week or maybe two I will be done
with 93% and it will be time to move up.
