Day of the Living Deads

To make up for the missed Deads, I did just straight-up Deadlifts today. I was going to do Romanian Deadlifts too, but I decided not to. RDLs are the only exercise that I'm afraid of. Hey, what do you want? I popped a rib doing them.

I didn't quite make 300 though.

How did that happen? :confused:

I was going multiple supersets of Lying Leg Curls and RDLs. I got up from the second set of curls and was doing my second set of RDLs with shitty form (from fatigue) and "pop", there went my uppermost false rib. If you were in the room, you would have heard it, it was that loud.

Now, I won't do RDLs unless I'm fresh.
 
I don't know if you listen to music or not, but for those heavy sets I really recommend pumping yourself up for those sets you aren't sure about. You still might fail, but atleast you'll know where you failed at and can improve upon that with such exercises as rack deadlifts and others.

It's funny that you should say that. :lol:

I did rip the 275 off the floor, but I couldn't lift the 300 even an inch off the floor. It felt like it was glued down. Kooky...

I know how that feels, my trainer has me sort of rolling and bouncing the weight to build up a lot of aggression towards it. I seems to work for me (just rolling it on the floor and fake jerking the bar up and down quickly, then quickly positioning your feet and jumping right into it - with good form of course).

You'll get it soon, I have faith.

As always, thanks for the tip, man! I'm going to try it next time.

How about something like this:

Yeah, it's a pretty good technique. If you doing Squats, do what's called a "walk out". You load up the bar with a weight beyond your PR and simply walk out of the rack like you were going to squat, then walk back in. It helps you acclimate to the heavier weight. P-funk talked about these.

Thanks, man! And the same goes for you! Down 30 pounds in 5 months! :thumbs: w00t!
 
Good deads DOMS. 275 is pretty hardcore.

I winced reading your rib breaking story. That sounds horrible no to mention damn painful. Glad I don't do deads.
 
Dawn of the Deads :P

Good stuff, DOMS! You'll nail that 300 next time.

Well, if P-Funk's talking about them, they must be good (he really seems to know what he's doing!).

Hey, don't hold this against the deads! I was injured doing RDLs because I violated rule number one of weight training: I put myself in the position where I used crappy form. It wasn't the exercise, it was me.
 
Week 3, Day 3: Fucked...

Well, today I my dues. It inevitable that, at some point, that in training an injury is going to occur. I was coming up from my third rep of 240 on Squats and the bar started to roll off my shoulders. So I rolled it back up, but I did it with too much force. That caused my to lurch forward and pull a muscle.

Yesterday, the pain was negligible and I had zero loss of mobility. Today however, the pain is ever present, but it's not acute. It's just the pain associated with swelling. It feels very much like the time that I pulled a muscle while stretching.

So, I've got a mandatory two week break. Well, that just means that I've got more time for options trading. Yep that good 'ol silver lining...
