I wish I could do that, too, but time won't allow since I workout in the morning before going to work.
Chin up!! Ooops, or is it chin down?  |
Thanks. I tried for weight on hips but trust me that was an ASTONISHINGLY bad idea. You might want to avoid my mistake of holding the weight TIGHT and then wondering why I couldn't raise my hips. I tried to keep my hands lightly on the weight, but I couldn't keep my balance that way.
I can't always get MO in, but I like to do at least once on a lifting night, as karate keeps me busy other nights. After a "b" workout, it's probably not possible.
Anywho . . .
3/15/2007 -- Beware the Ides of Deadlifts
Deadlifts just SUCKED today. Ah well.
Warmups
Walking Lunge w/ Upper Body Twist 10/side
Side Lunge w/ Opposite Hand Touch 10/side
Ball Bridge w/ Upper Body Russian Twist 30s, 10/side (8lb squishy ball)
T-pushups (Unweighted) 10
NROL Fatloss II B6
311 tempo and 30s rest
Snatch-grip deadlifts alternated w/ T-pushups
Warmup Pulls(snatch-grip except for plate)
45x5 (plate)
95x4
155x4
205x3
225 was NOT happening tonight. Dropped to 205 and my form was still crap at the end of the second set. Ditched the rest.
Snatch-grip Deadlift 205x8x2
T-Pushups (2x8)x8x3
Bulgarian Split Squat w/ Overhead Press alternated with Band-assisted Chin-ups
Bulgarian Split Squat w/ Overhead press (2x10)x8x3
Band-Assisted Chinups (Large+Small)x8x3
And these sets went okay. So it doesn't seem to be a hip issue. I used the small band for the second this time, which means less assist. Felt good, but I'm feeling it in my lats now.
Romanian Deadlift w/ Rows alternated with Lower-body Russian Twist
Romanian Deadlift w/ DB Row (2x40)x8x3
Lower-body Russian Twist (Straight leg)x8x3
No intervals today.
Next Week
Next week is a rest week. Then FL-III. Happy Joy
