GOOD MORNINGS Main Event

I have restarted my 3 week cycle of Good Mornings with Anderson Good Mornings as the main event lift. This is the first time I am attempting Anderson GMs and I can totally see why Eric Troy had me add them to my arsenal. They mimic the Deadlift very closely and put me in such an uncomfortable position that excelling in this will only transfer positive strengths to the DL. 190 kgs for a double was a real tough beast and it took me a couple of attempts to get it. It is amazing how a simple switch from doing regular GM to Anderson GM can rock the socks off my feet! I think this is probably one of the most difficult workouts I have done in the last few months. A good beginning to Anderson Good Mornings!

KANISHK DEADLIFT MAIN EVENT

This was a rollercoaster of a ride for Kanishk. He worked up to 130 kgs for a triple and it triggered his glute injury. Instead of fighting the pain we had him reduce the weight to 115 kgs. He took that for 6 sets of 3 reps. Then he began doing singles working up to 125, 135, 145 and finally concluding the workout with 155 kgs for a solid Relative Max. Total determination right there!
