Saturday - 12/9

630AM - 18 friggin degrees
No "motivation" today
Reverse Hyper - Romanian Deadlifts w/ trap bar - Abs to warm up
Added lead to PDA Blobette - Base weight is 48.5lbs

Tried to start with block weight work, but hands would not work. So:

Brookfield stick - 1 long bout
Ax lever to rear - 1 set - 12 reps - stopped just short of failure
Seated levering with ratchet + Platemates - 3 sets.

Grip Training

Left - Blob50 - +1.25lbs in Platemates - 4 deadlift attempts, got air and managed lateral arc move of about 6-8 inches.

Right - PDA Blobette - 48.5lbs base weight - 2 deadlifts with base weight, 2@+1.25lbs, 2@+1.875lbs - For the new people that keep showing up here, I have found the PDA Blobette to be more difficult than the Blob50. A 46-47lbs Blobette should get you a full deadlift with a Blob50. I think it is because the Blobette is a little "bigger" all around. Of course your experiences may be different.

Stopped while I was somewhat ahead.
