Day 5 Legs: Pull Dominant

1. Clean Pull 6-8x1 with 50% of your 1RM: 135*8/1


2. Deadlift: 245, 295/5, 315/2


3. DB Stepups: 50, 70, 70/10

4. Reverse Hyper: 120*4/12


5. GHR: 2*5


6. Calf Raise: 90*2/12


7. Ab Work: 100*4/15

Man Im going to rethink my deadlift setup. First off, high rep deads suck, I mean they really suck, but I really need to hammer down my form. So I might try them off boxes with moderate weights or something, let me know if there are any suggestions. My glutes are weak compared to my hams and my lower back doesnt like doing all of the work. Ive read Cressey's article and will implement that stuff on a regular basis. I tried some of it before the deadlifting and it worked for a bit but it seemed to disappear as I went 295+ on the deads. Man I know I can pull so much more but this kink is throwing me off.

I did my steups in the suggested fashion driving with the heel, and flexing the glutes on the GHR. Today was higher rep day on calves so thats why the rep/sets changed.
