PUSH/PULL

PUSH/PULL- 3 ROUNDS of 3 REPS

BENCHPRESS + DEADLIFT

060209- BP: 115/115/115
DL: 235 (closed stance)/255 (sumo)/255 (sumo)

I was ready to KICK this workout when I showed up. I figured for 3's this would be good and I would get good weights. BOY WAS I WRONG! My shoulders and chest were super sore from Cindy. That makes benchpress a little difficult, considering the shoulder soreness 115 was OK, but I had wanted to go for more, but didn't want to over do the shoulder again.

The deadlift on the other hand...I have hit 275 for 3 before, 265 more than once and 255 for 3 on a regular basis. However, I decided to work on my closed stance, which just doesn't feel awkward, it's actually difficult for me to get set up with correct form, so I was OK with 235 in that stance...still a decent weight since I can't remember the last time outside of certifications and 1 functional day that I just just deadlift for weight in that stance. I switched to sumo stance for the last 2 sets, got the weight belt and wanted to do 275. I attempted on pull and couldn't even break the floor. I went to 255 knowing that should be pretty easy...man on rep 3 I was crooked and had to do a small hitch on the left side at the top. The third round was just as bad. I stayed at 255 and was glad to put this one to bed.
