DE lower - week 1/phase 2

[Exodus]

had a good workout. speed was a little slow but that was due to placing my feet another 2 inches out in each direction. on top of that, where as i normally squat with my toes pointed out at a 45 degree angle, today i pointed them straight. which moved my heel another 2 inches out. so im not squating 4 inches wider each leg.............. ouch at one point i thought hurt my knee..... but that is soo much pressure on the hips. i also did sumo speed deads this way too, my hips hurt so bad ........ but thats the point. they are my weak point, and im trying to bring them up.

Box Squat - 185 w/100lb band tension - 10 x 2.

Speed Deads - 275 w/rev light bands - 6 x 3.

Hyper ext - 45 x 5 x 8.

Dimmel Deads - 185 x 3 x 20.

pull thru's w/ light band - 3 x 6

pull down abs w/ light band - 3 x 10.

that was it, besides 2 sets of speed squat where my need twinged i feel good, hips are sooooo sore.

How did you like the Dimel deads?
...chad...

they sucked............ i honestly dont like them. i may have been using too much weight. i thought 185 would be pathetic in and of itself, but to realize i probably needed to do 135 just really sucks......i must be doing something wrong, or i have some of the weakest hips known to man.

im looking forward to doing the cheese dimel deadlifts next week, i have a feeling i will like those better.

no, trinity and our brother bailed on me, so i didnt have anyone to video them. maybe next time.

i just felt like a spastic doing them. i think this is why i remember not liking them before, i just havent found my grove on them yet.

nice workout man..i like it..i really like the dimmels. i've only done them a couple times but i did sets of 13-15 w/185lbs and my dl is pretty weak. couldve been somethin else.

keep at the dimels, I think it was Spatts or B saying they are hard to learn at first cause of the initial stretch of the movement and the stress it places on the hips.
