Speed Lower
Despite working on strengthening my shoulder stabilizers, I was still able to stick with doing my DE lower days keeping suited chain deads as my primary exercise. The only change I made was not working up on my last few sets like I normally would.
Suited Chain DL (2 sets of chains)
20x45 - No chains
6x135 - Add chains
4x225
2x315
2x2x405 - Added Metal Jack DL suit, first set the suit wasn't completely seated and it felt awful so I repeated and it was much better the second go round.
8x2x425 - Rest 60 sec between sets
RDLs
8x225
4x315
8x365
2x8x385
Blast Strap DB RFE Split Squats/SS Yoke Bar Calf Raises
10xBW/---
3x{10ea x 50/25x265}
Doing the rear foot elevated split squats with my foot anchored in a blast strap instead of on a stable surface was infinitely more challenging once I added holding a DB into the equation and led to a lot of angry grunts and curse words compared to how I have been doing them in prior weeks.
I was a slacker and skipped core work today because following deadlifts with deadlifts always kills me. I need to start doing both squats and deads on my lower days, which is one of the changes I plan to implement in my next training block.
