I don't feel like I did much, even though looking back, it was a fairly productive ~45 minutes.

Because I'd already gone quite heavy on the GMs and I pretty much knew 440 x 1 would be in the bag (even though I only just got it). It would've been more sensible to go for a 3RM instead, because the 396 wasn't quite there.

king, the dimels hit my lower back more than I thought they would. I was expecting them to be more of a glute and hamstring exercise. Either way, I need a lot of lower back, glute and hamstring work, so I won't complain. It just means I'll try and hit my hamstrings a lot harder on DE Lower this week.

I just caused some serious damage to a Bavarian buffet, including two massive mugs of beer.

The roast meat, chicken and seafood (especially prawns) took the biggest beating. I hit them so hard that desert ended up being neglected more so that I would've liked. The fact Wendy and I spent double the time at dinner than we usually would did say a lot about the quantity of what WE (she SWAINED too!) ate though.

I expect to weigh in at 190 tomorrow on the back of this performance.

the workout with weights is nothing compared to the intensive eating routine, forced reps with food

Nice workout man. Those are heavy dimels.

 

[ffknight84]

hard work, in the gym and the buffet. Nice job on the rack dead too.

They were forced reps indeed

Just stepped onto the scales at 190, first thing this morning.

 

[WalkingBeast]

Holy shit Zander! Your getting damn strong on them rack deads! You got me running for my money now! Looks like its on! haha

 

[Zander1983]

Thanks bro, but I think you've got me covered

Still hovering between 188 and 190, so it wasn't much bloat at all.

Chowed down on a couple of 1/4 pounders for lunch, DE Upper tonight and my last ever game of indoor soccer tomorrow. I'll go out with a bang

 

[Backlash]

Do you guys always do deads on lower day? I thought they were more of an upper day exercise, especially partials off the rack.

 

[kingc_79]

yes deads is a lower exercise. u could do speed deads on de day or deads or rack deads on me day or even sldl..but yea i wouldnt think you'd wanna put it on upper day.
