Posterior Deload

March 22, 2019
Before Supper

Posterior deload. Weather was nice so I wanted to go outside to play. Grabbed my 225# D-ball and walked it from inside the garage to the platform by the house. Did 10 picks and a couple shoulders. Good enough for a deload day.

Week 7. To lazy to set up the Saxon Bar. Set up originally with the Flask but terminated after a couple of singles of 78.05k. The width wasn't feeling good at all. Brought out the Euro and it felt really good but I was losing hide on every heavyish set. Need to get training it again to toughen up for the comp. Next week with the dips I'll start with just triples I think and work at 6 sets. Took 15 second (watch timed) rests.

Vast improvement over where I tried it last week. 61k I tried again but I think the reps have taken their toll. At least I know I can continue with reps and know how they translate to a 1RM for the following weeks.
