Deadlifts

405 x 5

455 x 5

515 x 0, 0

Super-set with wide chin-ups: 2 x 10

30 second dead hang

First time in awhile that I've had to walk away after missing a deadlift rep, but I felt like I had no power today when trying to handle 515. However, this is also the first time in awhile that I've moved a decent amount of weight with my lower body and suffered no back pain afterwards, so my spirit was very high while cleaning up. I remember having crushed my last heavy squat workout but back pain had set in before I started gingerly putting the plates away and it was a lame feeling seeing the loaded bar I had just lifted 30 minutes earlier and knowing I couldn't do that now. It was a much more energetic, chipper clean-up session here.

I'm thinking it'd be a good idea to bring back power cleans before deadlifts again. They really primed me to break the bar off the ground and I had one of my most consistent deadlift runs while including them.

Bad and good news about boxing. I tried to sign-up for Tuesday sparring over the weekend, but the class was already full. Our gym is moving across the street to a bigger building in January, though, so hopefully class capacity will be bigger and sparring will be expanded.
