DEADLIFT Training - Mesocycle 29 Week 3

First session after the Consolidation Cycle.

Deadlift Warm-ups:
Mobility Drills
135 x 3
135 x 4
245 x 4
295 x 5
345 x 3
385 x 3
415 x 2

Deadlift Work-sets:
445 x 5
445 x 4
445 x 4
455 x 3
Triple Progression on these from last time. I added a rep to the original 445x4x3, I added an additional set AND I added weight to it (455x3). That all boils down to TRIPLE PROGRESSION. I'm thrilled!!! My only issue is that I'm using only one type of grip for these sets - but I'm gonna switch it up next week. I took a 10 minute rest between 445x5 and 445x4...then a 12 minute rest between 445x4 and the last 445x4...and then a good 15 minute break between 445x4 and 455x3. I forget how important it is to take these long rest intervals...

Static Holds for Grip Training:
275 x 8 seconds
315 x 6 seconds
365 x 4 seconds
365 x 4 seconds
Very difficult
