Reverse Band Deadlift, full gear

715x1
805x Miss WTF??!!??
805x1
805x1
715x1
715x1

Raw Full Deadlifts- technique work
225x1 x several sets

45 degree back raise
3 sets of 12 with 12lb med. ball
1 set of 12 bodyweight

3x20 Standing Abs

Just screwed up with technique and motivation on the first 805, not that the next 2 sets were easy but I'm sure the miss hurt some of my strength. I figure with bands, the 805 is about 650 at the bottom, 750 at the top. One more deadlift left.

Good workout 555x2 and 585x2 w/ wraps handled the weight fine, was a tick high on the 2nd rep with 585. Was going to do a set of raw paused with 445, but felt a slight pain n my hip after the 1st rep, so racked it. The deadlifts were just done to work on technique, I think I got a good setup down, we'll give it a try with heavy weight on Weds.

Deadlift 10/21

Suit straps up

625x1
675x1 x 3 sets

Light Raw SSB box Squats
245x 3 sets of 5

Strong Band Good Mornings
3 sets of 10

Standing Abs
3 sets of 20.


A little disappointed in the deads. Switched from my old Titan Squat suit to an old Inzer Max DL. Not sure if one is better than the other. 2nd rep was tough and 3rd was about the same, changed technique on the 2nd rep and than through me off some. Right now I figure my deadlift is down about 25 pounds. Tough trying to keep up with the weight I lifted weighing upper 230s compared to my current low 220s. Link to the deadlifts below

Rest of the workout just stretched. Had to do one more heavier raw squat since last week was crap, 1st 2 reps were fast and good, 3rd rep started coming forward as I was going down so I cut it a touch high. Spent the rest of the workout finding my groove with a suit. Will be buying a new squat suit tomorrow.
