3x5 Deadlift @265lbs
3 Rounds for Time
21 Toes to Bar
21 Wall Balls
Time: 00:07:41
Deadlifts the day before deadlifts. I will have to back off tomorrow for the 5/3/1. I debated simply skipping the deadlifts and working some sort of skill but I was peer pressured into it because I am weak.
I hate toes to bar and they will be the bane of my workout life. I can totally see how they are beneficial because they hit your abdominals ridiculous and also work your grip strength. After deadlifts though it is rough. You will feel your entire body after deadlifts and toes to bar when you start the wall balls. Forearms, shoulders, traps, lumbar spinae, glutes, quads, calves, even feet! I deadlift barefoot though so I can feel my feet a lot more. This was a great workout and really showed some weak spots for me. The weakest point of the day was my back and the left abdominal region. Definitely asymmetry in how I engage my core. I spoke with the yoga lady there and she was working on some static poses with me and was showing me some weak points in how I am doing said poses. I need to keep my hips square and parallel with the ground when in warrior three. I open my hips which makes balancing easier and takes away from the isometric engagement of the hamstring and glute and the lower back. I think by working on that during yoga and then focusing on engaging the abs WHEN I AM TIRED will get that working better.
Off to sleep so I can gro muscles.
Cheers!
