Now I remember why I like doing deadlifts every other week. My legs had NOTHING today. No strength, no explosiveness. They were just there to move me from spot to spot. I hit my target on deads with ease still, but my legs didn’t do much of the work. I am going to have to modify this split to do conventional deads or zerchers instead of sumos I think on the 5’s week to give my legs a little breather. I was thinking of going for a heavy single on db snatches, but after muscling up the 120db (as opposed to letting my explosivness carry it up top) I said screw it. Did some dimels and sldls and then more ab-rippers (roll-outs). Abs are still a little sore from Friday’s ab-rippers, but today they felt stronger. That’s good. Hoping my legs have enough go for Monday’s heavy squats. I will make a ‘game-time’ decision Monday and decide if I should just swap squats and militaries so I can hit the squats next Wednesday instead.
Kettlebells should be here tomorrow! Looking forward to having my very own 53 and 88lb ego killers.
