DEADLIFTING!!

1-22-10
DEADLIFT- 15x1
USE A WEIGHT THAT IS 90-95% OF YOUR 1 REP MAX

302= 90% of my 1RM, I rounded down to 300 pounds.

Rounds 1-9= 300 pounds, 10- failed, 11- failed, 12-15=265 pounds see below for explanation. 

I got in rounds 1-9 with the 300.  During round 9 my ankle popped.  Round 10 I started my 300 pounds and it was putting too much pressure on my ankle, so I got a failed lift.  For round 11 I had dropped weight to 280 pounds and again the pressure was too much on my ankle.  I get another failed lift.  Rounds 12-15 I got 265 pounds.  Although on round 13 I was almost given another failed lift as my ankle shifted and caused me to move to catch my balance and I let go of the bar just before lockout, but I told Coach I was going to repeat the lift...I did.  By the time I got home and took my shoe off, I could see all the lines in my foot from my shoe...in someplaces even stitching lines.  My foot had swollen to fill up the "loose" space in there.

I really hate when my ankle/leg becomes a limiting factor in my workouts.  Especially when it happens partway through a workout, it really makes me cranky....I mean really it's been 6 years now since the fracture happened, almost 5 years since the fracture would've been healed completely and maybe 4-4.5 years since the sprain/strain injury healed.  That's quite a bit of time....man I am glad that most people I know have not had similar sorts of injuries. 

I SHOULD'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO ALL 15 ROUNDS AT 300 POUNDS!!!!!
