Strength 1:00:00 [3]
Warm up
Deadlifts.
Started at 40kg. Coach had me do sets of 2 reps, increasing by 5 kg each set until my form would fail. This resulted in lots of sets. Once I got to 85 kg, he started watching each of my lifts. The two lifts at 100 kg still had good form but he cut me off there; he made analogies to having a new runner go out and try to do 100 km in their first week ( equals injury risk ). 100 kg felt pretty heavy.
5 x 3 split squats (up to 27.5 lbs per side (100 lbs total))
Alternating with 5 x 3 single leg box jumps. Did first two on 12 inch box, did last three sets on 18 inch box. Both started from the lower platform.
3 x 12 face pulls
2 x 4 toes to bar. Didn't do as well on these as previous weeks; I think my arms, lats and core were tired from all of the deadlifts.
