Yesterday the 140kg #deadlift went much better but I did not get enough sleep the last days. Conditions are never perfect... at least the constant feeling of dizziness is gone.
#legday was hard today. Had the feeling of dizziness during #deadlift
It's only 140kg (what I would still consider #Lightweight ) but I couldn't lift it more than 2 times in a row. So I tried to get as much as possible with a #pittforce approach.
#diet now finally show's it's effects on my performance. It's still 1 week left before making the Xmas break and evaluating things for the coming year.
Deadlift: warm ups, 1x6 @ 280 (85% 1rm), 4x5 @ 255lbs.
Close grip bench: 4x9 @ 155lbs (70% 1rm)
Bicep/tricep accessories for a few sets.
Just a slight bump on the deadlift today since I was feeling about average. I think I can jump my main work up to 260 or 265 pretty comfortably. Bench felt fine too, nothing special.
This is the end of the 3 week cycle I was going for! Hooray! Think I'll jump into the next one right away w/ tweaks.
Deadlift: warm ups, 1x6 @ 280 (85% 1rm), 4x6 @ 255lbs.
Close grip bench: 4x8 @ 155lbs (70% 1rm)
Bicep curls/skullcrushers: supersetted 3x17 @ 25lbs or some small weight like that.
Morning workout meant I felt a bit more stiff on the deadlifts. After the workout I realized I usually have a 1 inch raise on them to make it easier to get into position. That explains things! Bench strength is back especially with proper rest between sets.
Deadlifts: warm ups, 1x6 @ 265lbs (80% 1rm), 4x6 @ 255lbs (a bit over 75% 1rm).
Overhead press: warm ups, 4x5 @ 145lbs (a bit under 75% 1rm).
Bicep curls/skull crushers: 3x15 @ some very light weight.
This workout was not supposed to feel so difficult. The deadlifts weren't too bad, but the presses were rough. Just took forever to get any energy going. Guessing either still leftover illness or a new illness starting. Argh!
