I have to admit it: I hate deload weeks.
However, not taking them is what caused me to tweak my back and shoulder a few months ago. I learned from my stupid mistake and now force myself to take a deload week every 4th or 5th training week.
With that said I took Saturday's and today's workout easy. I'll be back to 100% and ready to hit it hard again come next Monday.
Saturday's Upper Body Session:
1) Speed Bench - 70x10x3
2) Incline Bench Press w/ Pause at chest - 4 sets
3a) Chin-ups - Bodyweight x 10/9/8/7
3b) TRX Face Pulls - 4 sets (I love the TRX because it can be used for so many different exercises. You can check it out here => www.TRXBodyweight.com).
4) EZ Bar Throat Crushers - 3 sets
Today's Lower Body Session
1) Conventional Deadlift with Bar on 4" Step - pulled 275
2) Very Light Wide Stance Good Mornings - 65x3x8
3) Very Light Front Squats 55x3x5
That was it for today. I can tell my body needs a break, so the rest of this week will be deload work.
