In the garage. Week 3 of 5/3/1, deadlifts today.

Warmup:
5 min jump rope, stretches, 20 x 16kg kettlebell swings

DEADLIFT
Warmup sets: 95# x 5, 120# x 5, 145# x 5
Working sets: 180# x 5, 205# x 3, 230# x 1+ (9 reps)

Warmup sets were actually a little tough today. Wasn't sure how well I'd do. Working sets were better. Tried to put some speed on the bar while I lifted, and that went well. Took a good 5 min rest before the AMRAP set, and that helped big time. Attacked the bar for the last set. Aimed for 6 reps and ended up with 9. Might have eked out one more, but it would've been real ugly. This works out to a theoretical 1-rep max of 286 pounds, my highest yet. I want to test again after this Wendler cycle.

Then:
5 x 10 @ 120#
Easy. Tried the speed thing again. Worked well.

Cash out: 2 x pull-ups, 10 x pushups -- just for shits and giggles.

Was going to bench today too, but I think I did enough.
