Deadlifts and Pull-ups

A day of deadlift lessons and special training. Rif put me through an interesting workout today with the deads. Today I pulled to my knees for triples as a way to increase my starting streength. We followed that with reps at say 65% of my 1 rm therefore focus on intensity through using a lighter weight but with limited rest (the rest was approx 15 sec between lifts).

Here is how it went

135/5
185/3
225/3
275/2
315/2

To the knee
315/3x1
348/3x1
365/3x4

I felt the connection today to the bar. These were helpful!

315/1x12 with 15 seconds rest. I could feel the fatigue as the reps accumulated but I was pulling like it was 550 per Rifs suggestion. Great coaching is really helping me progress

Pull-ups
45/6x3
12 (bodyweight) with 2, 3/4 pulls for an additional 2 reps to blast me

The cut/scab did not affect my performance and that is a good thing.
