At least my hammies look good. Hook grip practice with deficit deads. |
My deadlift appears to be stalled. I'm not sure if it's due to the lack of deadlifting for the past month, if today was a bad day, or if I'm genuinely weaker at the lift. I seem to be slower than I once was after I get past the knees. I'll see how next session goes and I'll decide from there if I need to deload. No big deal. After deadlifts today I did some deficits with hook grip up to 495lbs (singles). I tried a PR with hook grip (still at a deficit) at 525, but once I got it above my knees I stalled. After that I did front squats and chins (front squat PR of 315x5).
Goals for today:
365x5
420x5
475x5+
Lifted:
365x5
420x5
475x9 (wanted 10)

- Cycle 1: 355x13
