Deadlifts

Yesterday's training session went well. However, I skipped the AM Conditioning session again.

1a) Deadlift - 265x1, 275x1, 245x3, 225x5, 195x10
Note: something I find interesting is that my performance with deadlifts on a 4 inch platform is consistently better than deadlifts on the floor. Must be a leverage thing . . .
1b) Triceps Pressdown - 100x12/10, 90x2x12

2a) Reverse Lunge w/ Front Squat Grip - 75x2x8
2b) BB Curl - 45x12, 50x8/7

3a) BB Glute Bridge w/ Back Elevated - 205x2x10
3b) SB Crunch - 15x2x13

The workout took 45 minutes, excluding warm-up.

For the next few weeks I am tweaking my program:
1) Decreased volume on lower body days - I am doing this because I want to continue perfoming sprints. Also, I'm going to focus on quality not quantity.
2) No more wave loading - I experimented with wave loading for the last few weeks, but I will no longer be using teh 5/1/5/1 wave load scheme.
3) Keep up the conditioning work - I may tweak things a little to keep fatigue in check. I'll give more details next week.

Hill sprints tomorrow . . .

Have a great weekend!
