11/14 – Deadlift ME

Great deadlifting today. The last few DL sessions have sucked, and considering how hard I went on wide stance squats last week I figured that would set this workout up for some more lameness. I ended up feeling pretty good. Lots of good doubles/triples, then opted to continue the trend of using bands. I doubled the heavy (blue) bands over the bar so that I got a couple inches of rom before the tension hit. I figure the bands are adding around 250lbs at the top, if not more. I had each band weighed down with 280lbs and they weights were still shifting a bit. Worked up to a PR against the blue bands. Finished off with some cable rows, curls, and yoga.
