Finally, a straight up heavy WOD featuring deadlifts, been waiting for this one, thanks HQ, appreciate it. I've been wanting to get a heavy dead session in early in the year to baseline where I am, and this was it.
WOD
Deadlift 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3
As I was warming up, I was thinking about the later few sets and thinking about what weight I should start thinking about. I am terrible about writing things down, I never do. I used to at one point, but I hate carrying stuff around with me and taking the few seconds to write. I just end up not doing it...ack, I hate it. Whatever, I digress.
275-315-365
OK, knocked out the first three rounds. The set at 365 was the pivot set as I was calling it, I figured I would gauge where my weight went based on how that felt, and it felt goods, so it's game on.
385
OK, knocked that out and it felt pretty good, form was good...no corporate trainers were around so I was able to take my shoes off...upward I go...
405 - killed it.
Woot. Get up and get down. I got on the bar, sat in and got 3 nice pulls, and probably would have got 2-3 more pulls. Now, I sat there staring at the bar thinking about my next move. The WOD was complete, but I felt good. I didn't want to push it, but felt like I had good energy and good form, so I met myself halfway and went up for a single.
425 - smashed it.
It came up nice and slow, shot my hips through and squeezed it up. I was very, very pleased with that. No belt, no wraps, no shoes.
I finished up with some broad jumps and bear crawls and then hit the rower for:
10 rounds - 1o sec max efforts, 15 sec rest.
