navis Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I time my rest, usually 3 minutes between heavy sets though I have been known to take 10 full minutes between heavy deadlift singles. I think 2+ hrs workouts are just the deal when you lift heavy!

AugustaAdaByron Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I take at least 3 minutes between any set. I have no stamina. Took more than 5 minutes between the sets of deadlifts last time. Which was probably too much for sets at 65% of my max.

AugustaAdaByron Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Workout from Saturday 01/04 Deadlift from Blocks (whose height kept getting higher) 60kg x5x2 70kg x4 77.5kg x3x8 Feet up Close Grip Bench Press 20kg x10 30kg x5 37.5kg x6x6 The deadlifts took me an hour again. By the time I was done I looked at the clock at the gym and there was no way I could do both squat and bench so instead of changing shoes I did feet up bench. Also since I was meant to do close grip on the second session of the week (which I had to skip due to work) I ended up doing feet up close grip bench. I may try to go tomorrow for squat and the rest if there's time. 1 Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment
AugustaAdaByron Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Workout from Thursday 06/04 (Have to skip a session this week due to lots of work) Squat 20kg x10 40kg x5 52.5kg x3x2 57.5kg x3x2 60kg x3x2 It didn't go as well as I'd like it to but I expected it to feel a bit harder than usual. Bench Press 20kg x10 30kg x5 37.5kg x4 45kg x3x4 47.5kg x3x2 (tiny +1 rep PB) Finally! I've been trying to get 3 reps at 47.5kg on bench since October that I failed it on RSR. The programme called for 6 sets of 3 reps at 45kg but I could go heavier on the last 1-2 sets if it felt good. It didn't feel "good" but it didn't feel "bad" either. Smoother than most other times so I decided to go for 47.5kg. Had a spotter just in case, he also gave me a good lift off. That helped. Deadlift 60kg x5 67.5kg x3x2 77.5kg x3x2 87.5kg x1x2 80kg x2x2 Deadlifts were slow off the floor as always. I always get scared when it takes me a while to break the bar off the floor, I worry that I won't at all and end up rounding my back to gain speed. I closed my eyes, tried to forget I was holding the bar, and concentrated on pushing the floor away (like a leg press) and it went better. To be fair I did round my back at 87.5kg but later. On the first single I got a brain fart after breaking the bar off the floor because I didn't expect it without my back rounding and lost my concentration afterwards. The second single felt better but I don't have it on video. (That's my fault, my battery had died and I asked a friend to record the first single then I got too shy to ask again even after she offered to do so. *cough*sociallyawkward*cough*). Anyway, it was supposed to be 2 sets of 3 at 87.5kg but after the 2 singles and having the concentration thing click a bit better I dropped the weight and practiced it. I'm finally getting optimistic about the deadlift. I need to get used to the grind. 1 Quote Level "I have no clue" Warrior Current challenge Battle log Link to comment
