Notes - Does anything look different? Any PR's set? Nope. Anything worth mentioning on paper? Note. However the deficit triple at 500 was so fast I almost fell backwards off the block.
What you wouldn't see was how fast everything moved. I felt phresh, because I have not been killing myself. Yes it's just week 2, however I actually want to stay phresh the entire 9 weeks going into this meet. I might take something semi heavy the last week or two, however I will do as little grinding as possible.
In your "So your deadlift sucks" series (and section in the SLL book), you talk about how block pulls are superior than deficit deads to help build the deadlift. So, I have to ask, what are you looking to get from the deficit deads?
ReplyDeleteI'm not questioning the choice, just wanting to learn from why you programmed them in. Was there something you were wanting to address?
to stay lighter. with block pulls I still load them up. they will be included started 5 weeks out every other week more than likely.
