Coming off of a small back injury while attempting to deadlift 375kg I decided to take it easy the first few weeks of my training cycle for Giants Live qualifier in Las Vegas in April


Feb 8

14 inch Deadlift - worked up to 585x11 deadstop each rep. I was embarrassed that all I could manage was 11 but I still had some back pain and decided to stop.

Decline GHR - I can usually manage 20 or more reps weighted on a regular GHR, but we elevated the back of the machine and I struggled with 3x5.

2inch DB row - 140x5, 140x8

Farmers holds - 250x70sec
