Tonight was the first mini cycle with max reps. After 4 weeks of reps prescribed only I felt ready to get after it with some rep work. I started with 333 day and knew I was going have some tough sets in the 8-9 rep range. I haven’t done these in a long time and was excited to beat myself up.

Squat with neoprene sleeves and a belt.

135 for 5 2 sets
235 for 3
325 for 3
375 for 1
425 for 1
475 for 9

I was really happy with this set. I didn’t use an up call and attempted to bury these reps and for the most part I did. On video I felt like some reps were only about an inch deep but for the most part I was pleased.

Sumo deadlifts
135 for 5
225 for 3
315 for 3
405 for 1
455 for 1
520 for 8

Another set I was actually happy with. My hips were toast after this set. I need to get my ass down more but I felt better than last week so that’s good. I’m not sold on sumo by any means but I do feel it has worth as a deadlift builder for a conventional puller.

Pin pulls from above or RDL’s as the world calls them.

405 for 3
495 for 3
605 for 3

This was a tough third lift after the first two lifts. My low back was blasted after this and I was done.

605 for 3 video.


This was a great workout, one of my best ones since I started my weight cutting scheme back in July. I look forward to the next few weeks.
