April 18, 2012 - Deadlift

I truly despise this month so far. Training has sucked and been inconsistent. Had a truly pathetic overhead workout on Tuesday and almost didn't finish this deadlift workout because the set with 522lbs felt like utter crap. Feeling tired and unmotivated. Confused about training and it doesn't help that my grandma was in the hospital for heart problems this week. Got to get things back under control, on my own terms again. I'm hoping what I'm going to try out this coming week will do the trick.

25 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Ok workout. I felt like crap warming up and almost left after 522lbs felt so damn hard. Glad I calmed myself down and managed to tie my PR with the contest weight (felt easier this time). Tried a fifth rep but no good. Took a decent effort to get eight for the down set. GM's felt good and pull-ups were a bit better than the awfulness that was last time. Rushed the stretching since it was getting really late.
