Posterior Chain


Was still sore from my leg workout, but wanted to try some deadlifts, opted for touch and go, something I haven't done in ages, because of this I also used straps.

My all time best on sumo deadlifts for touch and go is 365 for 5, today was 375 for 6, so I am pleased with that, I probably could gave kept going, but my form would have faltered.

Upper Body


I was recommended to use dumbbells over a barbell on bench till my shoulder feels better, being I always use to use dumbbells, this was an easy decision.

50 Hollow Rocks

I guess not doing db bench press for a while, but getting stronger on my barbell had some carryover, I've never gotten more than 6 reps wit the 95s, 8 was tough but felt good.

Conditioning


Just felt like some light cardio, no circuits

1 mile run on ecomill in 13 minutes

10 minutes on stairmaster

I know 13 minutes sees slow for a mile, which it is, but the ecomill treadmills are self propelled, so mimics running outside, and on a permanent slant so it mimics running uphill.

Legs


Got my shoulder checked out today, turns out to be a small case of bicep tendinitis, the part that runs right underneath the anterior deltoid, hense the confusion on my part.  Just a simple tweak to my program for a couple weeks.

I did do 315 for 3 sets of 3 before, but my form felt off, today I felt like I was going deeper and kept better form overall, having said that I wasn't sure I would complete the last rep on the last two sets.  The pause hack squats were new, simply pause at the botton, they made them harder but I really liked them.
