Are you doing touch and go for that set of deads, or are you resetting each rep
Either way that's impressive

Thanks ace. It was touch and go for most of it. Around the 10th or 11th rep, I had to start slowing down. The last few probably had a 5 sec rest between them. It was awful; high rep deads are the worst lol.

Screwwwwwww those high rep deadlifts. My best rep max ever was 395x12 and I set it down and left the gym right after that. Never doing that again. You're just the animal that does it at the end of a workout..and then some. More power to ya.
My short arms can't so Reeve's..I gotta stick with snatch..grip that is

Yeah I hate High rep deads, especially when I get to touch and go my technique goes to ****.
Ass and hips shoot up, and then I basically sldl it up
I find it's better for me to just get reps of five, eight max

I've implemented snatch grips off blocks for reps, they make me their bitch but not as brutal as straight Deads

Haha I sat there in rough shape for about 5 mins before thinking about doing anything else. I rarely did high rep anything in the past. Meadows routines always seem to have deads, squats, and bench at or towards the end of a workout.
Lol you could try doing the Meadows variation with a shorter bar.
Yeah, I prefer lower rep as well. I was supposed to end the session with an "annihilator set".

I've done snatch grip pin pulls, but I'd bet the blocks are better, allowing for an even wider grip

Thanks Jiigzz. Physique changes are great, but they're only one of many motivating factors. I just love to train and challenge myself.
Glad you made your way back. I should probably "clean up" my subscriptions as well.
Thanks fumoney. Yeah, sitting down was a must as soon as I finished. I probably would've went down involuntarily if I didn't lol.

I found this interesting (not sure if anyone else will lol), as it relates to my current training and a lot of my food choices. I was surprised to find out that he recommends tracking progress with one "fattest area" caliper reading, which I do as well...belly fat is down ~5mm from the start of this log. :thumbsup:

Haha I'd like to lose some more. I think the lighting in the pics at the start of the log made me appear leaner than I was.
Nice, let me know what you think. I got some of those roast chicken patties that you mentioned and will be using one in my egg creation today.
Haha gotta make sure I'm going in the right direction.
I thought so as well. I used to do that, but switched to strictly abdominal every 3-4 weeks.
You'll be back strong soon enough.

I think you will like them - chicken patties. They are actually good just as is, but I am sure you will go chef Boyadee on them. Pop in microwave for 2 min and they are good to go. Nice 50gm of protein in that package. Well seasoned also.

Yeah, they look delicious and would be great when I'm short on cooking time as well. I'll let you know what I think.

Haha. I used to live Whole Foods, but they became too popular and got way too expensive. Trader joes is definitely a better alternative. Hope you see one in your area soon. I am sure Toronto would be one of their target markets.

Yeah if you pull the handles down it shifts the weight higher up your back, but allows you to create incredible tension in your upper back and a nice arch too
Too often I see people push the handles up as they get to the bottom

Indeed. That would've been a tough one to lose. So many shots, opportunities...and posts.

Thanks Jiigzz. That's a good way to describe them.
They're definitely tough, but I find spider crawls to be "worse". So were the 20 over and backs following the 6 ways.
Towards the end of a set, lifting the weight over my head is the biggest challenge for me.

I was very happy with my performance during today's session. I didn't expect to be maintaining strength the way I have throughout my cut. Strength endurance was actually improved compared to my numbers doing the same exercises last week. I think this speaks to the effectiveness of my current supplementation.
