Heavy
Today I wanted to go as heavy as possibly on 2 exercises, so I picked the front squat and sumo deadlift
Front Squat
95x10
95x10
135x5
155x3
175x3
195x3
205x3
215x3
225x3
Sumo Deadlifts
135x10
135x10
185x5
225x3
255x3
275x3
295x3
315x3
315x3
Felt strong on both lifts, kept the deadlifts from the floor this time, hence the lighter weight. Might as well keep it that way. I took a video of the last of my front squats, so at 225, since switching to clean grip the weights have felt to come along nicely. I feel much more stable with the weights than I did with a cross armed grip. I took the video so I could see my depth, which looked as low as possible, to check my back to make sure it wasn't rounded, and to see if my elbows drop. I can't see from that angle, but I like how it turned out, looks like I maybe had another 10 pounds in me. Simple yet challenging strength day.

Nice video!
ReplyDeleteI saw a CrossFit video recently where they'd somehow attached a camera to a kettlebell, so it gave you a shot from the point-of-view of the kettlebell as someone was swinging it: http://youtu.be/tzD9BkXGJ1M (from 1:20).
Any way of fixing a camera to a barbell? :-)
hah i dont think you'd want a camera that close to my face when i lift heavy.....or anyones for that matter.
ReplyDeleteIn the same video it looks like Miranda Oldroyd has a small camera strapped to her chest (facing outwards!) while she's doing GHD sit-ups.
