Well at the very top of the last rep of my first set something tweaked in my lower back on the left side. It’s been tightening up since. Hopefully it’s nothing serious and a little ice and massage will bring it back.

Deadlifts Week 10

Warm Up:
Standing Abs: 2×20 w/ doubled purple
External Rotations: 2×15 w/ mini band
Hypers: 2×15
Front Raises: 2×15 w /mini band
Abductors: 2×15 w/ mini band

Core:

15″ Deadlift(conv, no belt): 5@440.9/200, 5@507.1/230, 3@529.1/240(decided setup was not good)
Standing Abs: 2×20, 1×30 w/ doubled purple + doubled mini
Hypers: 2×15 w/ 35.3/16 kb
Solo Pfister Hypers: 1×20 w/8lb med ball

The eights were definitely a change after the low rep stuff for the last three weeks however all the weight felt really good. I decided to try to do some partial range of motion deadlifts however my setup would cause the bar to get kicked around and pushed in front of me or against me at the bottom if i wasn’t just perfect on the decent. After three reps like this at 529.1/240 i decided that was enough and scraped it before I hurt something. I will try these again I just need to come up with a better setup.
The solo pfisters are just coming up and instead of throwing the med ball to a partner at the top you bounce it off the floor, catch it, then go down. I found this quite effective and had an uncomfortable drive home.

External Rotations: 3×15 w/ mini band

Good workout, I was supposed to do 3×10 on close grip but after the first set was so boring I decided to change it up and just made this up as I went along.
