Third #MaxEffort session on #snatchGripDeadlift, here for 325, 345, and the 365 PR, which moved easily enough that I may just go for 375 next time. Then 295x5 for the backdown.
I've also included the first set of my jump to 95x2x7 on #weightedSitUps and then also one set of #sideBends with 15x10.
Then it was #weightedSitups for 85x2x8 and #sideBends with +5 for 10 after submax deadlift.
Finished up with #weightedSitups for 75 up to 18 reps and will now step it up to 85. Also got the #sideBends up to 18 reps per side and will add weight from here on out, holding a plate behind my head to do so.
Not much to write home about on my max SLDL work yesterday--just gonna keep moving my cluster of singles up and hopefully manage 405 next time--but I did want to show how I wrap up my deadmax days. Just two sets of these #weightedSitups (now up to 75) and one set for each side on #sideBends.
Still doing these #weightedSitUps for +55 but am now doing up to 16 reps and will step up to +65 after attaining two sets of 18+. I've also been backing it off with an AMRAP of #dragonFlags and trying to get those back into the 20+ rep territory (which is tough enough after a couple sets of these).
After a couple SLDL backoff sets, I followed up with little novelty I came up with last micro-cycle: #weightedSitUps in the manner of #RomanChairSitUps, and whereas I had been hanging my plate-loaded vest off my shoulders previously, I thought to try using a barbell in like manner and zerchered it.
Just got these #weightedSitUps (roman-chair-esque, incredibly stretch-biased, about the worst possible leverage in the bottom) up to 45lb for 12+ reps, and that was right after stepping my heavy squatting back up to 5x5 and matching my deadlift 5RM. Feeling like a beastly boy with my beastly toys.
Top or shortened position of the situp.
Descending into the stretch.
Almost into the stretch.
Bottom position or full stretch, weight dangling from shoulders.
Y'all are too high to be knowing about this my own special flavor of #weightedSitUps: weigh down the other end of the flat bench, suspend the ankles underneath with a dip belt, hang the ass off the end, and let the weighted vest freely dangle to worsen leverage in the stretch position.
