School Day

Back to the Rifstonian Institute for my normal school Monday. The lessons are many, the exercises are the same Deads and Pull-ups. The main lesson today was fall back. So, before lifting feel like you were to let go of the bar you would fall back on to your arse. This sure seemed to help today

Deadlift
135/5x2
185/5x1
225/3x1
275/2x1
315/2x1
365/1x1
405/1x1

Work sets
427/1x5

the art and science of movement.The deadlift reinforces these concepts that movement is art and the deadlift is a true masterpiece the challenge is getting all the ingredients mixed correctly to produce optimal performance. Some days, some reps, some everything are better than others. Overall I feel closer but practice, practice and more practice.

Pull-ups
27.5#s/6x6

Ok, the last 2 reps were brutal. I did a better job of resting but just was a little fatigued on the last set. Remember the LATS to initiate the pull.

I feel very pleased with todays schooling.
