Saturday - 11/25

7AM

Lower Back Ab Warmup. Elbow traction with Jumpstretch bands

Grip Training

Left - Blob50 - 8 Deadlift attempts. Half of them got a touch of air. No spark today. Finished each attempt with a long hold. Tuesday was the best day this week. It seemed this || close to going the full ride. Oh well.

Right - PDA Blobette - added more lead - 47.5lbs base weight - 11 full deadlift singles. First Single with no additional Platemates, next 9 with +5/8lbs, last 2 with +1.25lbs. Concentrated on form and speed. A word on adding weight, adding the lead to the inside of the device, makes it feel slightly different than attaching magnets. Not necessarily harder, but "different".

Levering. The past couple of weeks I have re-introduced the "Brookfield Stick". If you have the DVD, you know what I mean. I took a 48"x1.25" wood dowel, added PVC to the end to give it a 2+" handle. Front lever it, hold it in position, then add a 5lb plate to the mix. Slide it toward your arm when you get tired, then slide it back out. This will smoke the wrists.

Time for a coffee.
