There Will Be Sweat

Probably some blood too. No tears though. Never tears.

Max Effort Deadlift

Warmed up with some pushups, pullups, and squats before testing my wrist with some light power cleans. They sure didn’t feel good in the rack position, but rather than waiting around forever while my body atrophies, I decided to change it up and pick new exercises that aren’t so wristy. Starting a new cycle with deadlifts today (which counts as a full body lift):

  • Deadlift
    • 3 x 315lb
    • 3 x 365lb
    • 3 x 415lb *FAIL* (2)
    • 1 x 445lb *FAIL*
    • 1 x 445lb *FAIL*

Fuck that shit. Nowhere near my PR but I can’t blame my wrist, I think I just overdid it on the warmups and triples so I had nothing left in my tank for the singles. I’ll be smarter next time.
