Monday's Training

Its been a while since I've posted anything, but the training has been going great. Today I felt really good. about a month ago I was having some lower back issues due to too much deadlifting. After revamping everything and tailoring my workout each day to how I am feeling has helped me to grow by leaps and bounds. I decided to start off with deadlift today. After not working out on Friday I was ready to get to work. After working up to 455 I still had a lot in the tank. My long term goal for the month was 500 by July 30th. but I ended up hitting that mark today. To finally break that barrier was huge for me. I have added 85 Pounds to my deadlift in 2 months and a total of 150 pounds in the last year. I am currently at 203 body weight. I would still like to be around 198, but I will get there. Here is how the day went.

Then I did some ab work and pull-ups to finish it off.

Wednesdays Training

Today I had the opportunity to workout twice and it felt amazing. I was really able to focus in with Steve on squats and it was really helpful. Today I worked up to a bunch of heavy singles and then dropped down and did some higher rep stuff at 315, 225, and 135 working on form, depth, and speed. Then a couple hours later I came in and worked on Deadlift and Bench Press. After hitting 455 on deadlift I took a little time off from heavy training. I was shocked by how much that helped my numbers. I pulled a new PR of 475! It felt excellent.
