Deadlifts at 90% of my 1RM!

Hey Steemians!

Deadlift day!

Alright Christmas is over, time to get back to work!

imageit's cold out here, dang it!

Today starts week 4 of the program, which means the weights increase 5%. I was excited to get into this second block because I was getting a little bummed I couldn't get past the 4 reps on the top sets of any workout the first block so I'm hoping I can break that trend this block with the top set being 2+ reps.

I was definitely feeling my hamstrings after this one.

Ok working sets

Even though it was cold as all get out in the garage, I was feeling pretty good on the warm up sets. Didn't get much rest between sets because I was messing with the new tripod lol (thanks @Goldarr) but that's ok I like to keep the heart rate up.

Like I said, I felt pretty good today. And, I was able to surpass the max reps! Finally! Lol

Accessory as usual, rows and kettlebell swing super set, 3 rounds. Minimal rest between.

Just did a body weight conditioning workout today, but still worked up quite a sweat. I'm tellin you guys, body weight hiit is a great way to finish off a workout.

Tomorrow is chest day, so we'll see if I can keep up the trend of breaking 2 reps on the top set 🤞
Did you guys train today? What did you do?

Ok, it's time to get ready for work, and as always..
Have a great day everyone!
