I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD

KNEEL BEFORE ME AND PRAY

TUESDAY - DEADLIFT DAY

Deadlift
135x5
165x5
195x3
245x5
280x3
310x1+ (5)
365x1 (PR)

I obviously wasn't supposed to go for a PR today, but 365 was the weight from Sean's last set, and when I went to unload the bar, I wondered like any man with testosterone coursing through his veins, whether or not I could pick it up, so I tried. I was also interested in whether or not I could get it, since I have dutifully been adding 10 pounds to my working max each cycle, as Wendler says to do in 5/3/1, and 365 happened to be the weight my deadlift numbers were based on for this cycle. Turns out I actually have gotten stronger.

RDL
205x10x5

Lunges
60x10/sidex3

BWx5x3

Our rings are homemade, and are not really adjustable. They hang a lot lower than the blast straps in this video, so at full extension, one's torso would only make about a 15 degree angle with the floor. This is tough, and I could only barely get to full extension on 1 or 2 reps. My entire last set was basically garbage.

Standing Cable Crunches
80x10x5

Plank w/feet in rings
1:00 x 2
