Thursday Training: Deadlift/Bench

If you've read the Facebook you may know that Wendler, Dizenzo and I are doing a geriatric meet in December. I even took video today to add to the hoopla. I have no idea how to post it on here so I won't bother trying to figure it out. But, I did get a good one in today. Jim's trash talking was a good motivator.

• Deadlift: 255x5/285x5/315x5/255x10
• Dips: 5x5 w/25lbs
• T-Bar Row: 5x10
• FBB Bench: 205x5/225x5/245x5/205x10
• RDL: 5x10
• Ab Rollouts: 5x10

Deadlift felt great. Dips were better than anticipated. I knew I could do them. I just didn't know how my shoulder would hold up, hence 5 reps. No issues. Bench was easy. I used 135 on RDL's because I haven't done them in years and didn't want to deal with the consequences. I do them correctly, so even with 135 I felt it in the hamstrings. Very solid day. On Tuesday I did a bodyweight circuit:

• Bike: 5 minutes
• Push-ups: 5x10
• Pull-ups: 5x5
• RFESS/KB Swing: 2x5 each/2x10 each

Wednesday I took a 6 mile bike ride on the stationary bike. Kinda boring and the scenery never seemed to change?
