Legs


Epic leg workout with Brett, we were going to go for a new 1 rep max on deadlifts, he picked conventional and I picked sumo but changed my grip so I didn't have to use straps.  First we started with band deadlifts

Band Deadlifts (touch and go)
235x8
275x8
275x8

Sumo Deadlifts
325x1
375x1
425x1
445x1

Hamstring Curl
120x8
135x8
135x8

Back Squats
135x8
205x8
255x6
255x5

Squat Machine
360x8
450x6
450x6

I love it.  That ties a life time pr on my deadlifts, and the most weight I have ever loaded onto a barrbell.  If you watch the last time I did it, it went much slower.  This lift moved smoothly and by looking at it, now seems like I could have gone higher, but maybe another day.  I also prefer this new style with a slightly wider grip, allowing me to use a mix grip and ditch straps.  Back squats felt a hell of a lot harder after the deadlifts, my posterior was smoked and lacked some of the stability, but 255 for the last two sets I was very happy with.  Here is the max deadlift.
