Strength
Banded deads: 60, 100, 120, 140, 160kg x 4
S/s
Field goal sit-ups: 10 x 4 sets
Filmed a few sets to see if bands significantly change my form and if is that a really a problem?
120:
140:
160:
Last time I pulled 160kg x 4 against bands, it was standing on a plate, and it was easier, I’m beginning to think my mechanics lend themselves to deficit more than from the floor, I know Pwn has discussed this here previously, from memory he suggested because I am mechanically more suited to squats, I default to trying to squat the weight up. After 120 and reviewing the video I did attempt to hinge more, particularly in breaking from the top, attempting to let the hips break before the knees, I think I tend to let the knees break first then they get in the way and I get the two stage lower (and lift, but not sure how to address that?). I dislike deadlifts so much, I am determined to master them, for absolutely no reason other than stubbornness.
Volume:
Banded deads: 100kg x 4 x 5 sets EMOM
Started to feel some back pain, shut it down, don’t need the volume on deads that bad.
Finisher:
Started some light bicep work and had pain in my elbow, joy, called it here, wasn’t exactly lit up by the prospect of accessory work, so decided on being slightly grumpy after the deads and calling it here as well.
