4/4/11- ME Deadlift- Finding an opener.

Today was uncomfortable right from the start. Life outside of the gym has been wearing me down a bit and it couldn't be happening at a worse time in regaurds to training. I came into the gym completely flat and the weights made me pay for that...

135 x warm up
245 x 2
335 x 2
425 x 1
Added suit
515 x a very uncomfortable and painful 0. I could not get down to the bar properly in my suit and my left hamstring felt like it was going to rip off as I pulled the weight so I just dropped it. I tried to adjust my suit a bit but was just not even close to being comfortable. Took it off and put briefs on.

515 x 1
565 x 1 felt like 765 but after watching the video it looked easier then it felt.
605 x 0 got it to my knees and just stalled. Kept good position, but just didnt have it in the tank today. This is my current PR so not a huge deal that I missed it. I wat to break it in the meet not the gym.

As for an opener, I am thinking 580. I have to remember that we are pulling with a crappy bench bar in the gym with barely any grip. A deadlift bar will feel much better and should move a little quicker at the meet.

Reverse Hypers
3 x 10

Neutral Grip Pull Downs
3 x 10

Various Weighted Abs
5 x 10-12

I have some video I will try to get up tomorrow night.
