I like your effort scales.
I make similar notations in my log, just not numerical. I've always felt a training log is only as helpful as the depth and accuracy of info you record with each workout.ck2006 said:
Actually yes. I thought we were getting a rom, but we got a suite. Huge jacuzzi. Very relaxing after my workout.
Surprised D(wifey) with her spa visit. Full massage & manicure. Not sure if the masseuse was an RMT, but she seemed very knowledgeable. Anyways she suggested to D that she should get worked on weekly by an RMT. She also said she should see a chiro, because she has scoliosis(?) with a 1" deviation.
D was sore after, like from a workout, with a headache today. I told her, with the stress she's under at work, they should pay for a weekly session.Thanks. I got the idea years ago, when I was doing the Body For Life thing & using their logging format. I've modified it a bit to fit my own needs, but I find it so helpful when determining my weight ascension for my workouts.RottenWillow said:I like your effort scales.
My hammies are feeling it today, from the SLDLs. Not sure what kind of weight I should be pulling, compared to regular deads, but this is the first time I've ever run these in a program.

You rock! Sorry about your wife's stress and back. How bad is her scoliosis? and you gotta tell me what you ate!
Not sure about the scoliosis. The masseuse just said her lower spine had a 1" curvature or deviation and she should see a chiro.ck2006 said:You rock! Sorry about your wife's stress and back. How bad is her scoliosis? and you gotta tell me what you ate!
On Friday night (D's birthday) we went to Boston Pizza. We both had a baked Penne thing, but I got 2 pieces of Salmon filet, on the side. See, trying to be good.
Saturday I didn't eat well as far as shedule, but I did have a can of tuna & a coupla Protein shakes. Saturday night, at the hotel restaurant I had a 16 oz Sirloin steak. I asked for medium rare, but this thing was still mooing, you could still smell the leather. It was so much meat I couldn't eat all the potatoes. Too bad, LOL. Then on Sunday we went to a Pancake place & I had French toast w bacon & sausage, with ham on the side.
Anyways, a huuuuuge cheat weekend. I wasn't really trying to diet, except for watching my macros, but that was way over on the carbs. But it was sooooo good. Now back to my regularly scheduled program.

The amount of weight you pull for SLDL's is pretty heavily dependant on your ROM. I've noticed men tend to have less hammie flexibility and arent able to go as deep as women. Like in squatting, the deeper you go the less weight you can use. Personally I think "rock bottom" depth on SLDL's is when your back is 3" below parallel. Deeper than that I think is only hitting your erectors.
My personal SLDL work set is about 25% lighter than when I used to occasionally do Deads. Not using your quads to press off the floor drops the poundage bigtime.

My hammies are very full and round, so I might not be a good reference for comparison.
I dont think it's uncommon though for a person's Dead work set to be like one-third heavier than their SLDL set. Just remember that the bar should be moving straight up and down over your feet, and to "dig in" with your heels on the concentric phase, and in your mind think about levering the weight up with your hammies rather than just pulling up with your arms. You should really feel the pull in your hammies rather than in your back.
I cant really confidently speak to Deads since I've never done them regularly, but you'll certainly notice your squats increasingly more rapidly. If you squat truly flat footed rather than more on the balls of your feet you'll notice the biggest change.
So much of this is mental. the average person would not believe the knowledge that one has to have to do this thing calle dweight lifting, correctly.RottenWillow said:My hammies are very full and round, so I might not be a good reference for comparison.

Good point on the levering. I really try to stay off the balls of my feet when squatting, although sometimes I slip & cheat a bit. I have a love/hate relationship with squats & deads.
