3/14 – Deadlift 3’s

This was pretty much a crap workout. Tired, no motivation, even caffeine didn’t alleviate the doldrums. Did what I had to on deads and called it good. Kind of frustrated with my form the last few months. I feel like I’ve passed my ‘sweet spot’ in terms of leverages now that I’ve gained more weight and I just don’t sit back as much as I used to, and end up using a lot more back. Just not feeling very explosive anymore. Think I might need to start doing some speed pulls to get some of that hip power back. My low back/hip always feels kind of tight, too, in an awkward way, so I might have some lingering injury there. I know I am stronger now than I have ever been, and can grind/power through reps that otherwise would have never went before, hence all of the recent high rep PRs. After deads I did some stiff legged sumos, which weren’t bad. Moved on to shrugs, where I woke up a bit, and at least hit a PR. Finished with some leg curls and called it good.
