sunday deadlifts

took Saturday off so was psyched to hit this early Sunday am. Superbowl Sunday no less!
up early and in to a quiet gym. sweet.
felt pretty good. had gotten some good sleep the night before.

treadmill warm up
1/4
1
1/4
felt good. legs were moving and the pace was high.

strength warm up
3 rounds
10 dips
10 pull ups
15 air squats
felt good and moved though this quickly.

WOD
deadlift 5-5-5-5-5-5-5
7 sets of 5. really wanted to go heavy on these. i dug out my old wrist straps to be able to focus on pulling and not lose it due to grip.

warm up
10x135
10x185
8x225

5x255
5x275
5x285
5x295
5x305
315 got 2 and then failed
5x295
5x275

the 5x305 was a pr for reps at that weight. really wanted the 5x315 but 315 is my current 1 rep max and the 2 i got were ugly so i put it down. felt strong through most of these sets. the straps help a lot. take the pressure off the hands for the last 2 or so pulls of the set. kept most of these sets unbroken. took a slight rest at the bottom after 3 on the 305.
back pretty blasted after this obviously. but in a good way right?

cash out
run 1 mile. 8:30 pace.
jog 1/4 mile to cool down.

a good workout and a good way to start a Sunday. off to a cub scout mass with the boy and then home for the bowl!
