Thursday pulls

happy post st pats!
no hangover here. those were the days though! or were they!
woke up looking for something heavy. figured we were due to move some weight and i was disappointed! deadlifts baby!
been making some progress on my deads and was psyched to give this a go.

warm up
treadmill
run 1 mile
good steady pace, built up to a pretty quick run by the end. get the blood flowing and clean out the legs.

strength warm up
after yesterdays bodyweight fest i couldn't see doing my normal warm up. i had read an article about using powercleans to warm up for heavy deads so i figured i would give it a go.

powercleans
10x45
6x95
4x135
focused on explosive power from the floor. felt good.

deadlifts
warm up
10x135
6x225
4x275

wod
1-1-1-1-1-1-1
285
295
305
315
325
330 fail
325 fail

got up to 315 with relative ease. not straps all raw. 325 the first time was a little ugly. still no straps and i got it up and locked out
330 i couldnt get. form fell apart and i started to round my back. went back to the bar and focused on keeping my butt down but couldn't get it above shin height. as i got tired my form started to break down
325 for the last rep was a fail as well. tried to keep the form strong on that lift but couldnt finish it. just wiped out at that point
still, up a good 10+ pounds and lifting 315 easy for 1 which used to be a real challenge. happy with this. considering the amount of work done yesterday this was a good show.

cash out
8x225 working form, keeping them slow and steady
10x135 just to clear the head and body

good day. still need to work on form when it gets heavy. might try to grab a pair of chuck taylors. i think the running shoes might be sending me forward a bit.

happy thursday!!
