Today's workout: 26/8/11

Had an awesome workout this morning. Decided to mix things up a bit and hit a higher rep range as been sticking to the singles, 3 and 5 reps for a while now. It felt awesome.

A thorough warm up with mobility drills and 15 reps of the following with an empty Olympic bar for 2 sets to get everything warm:

Deadlifts
Stiff leg Deadlifts
Barbell rows
Hang cleans

1) power cleans 6 sets of 3 reps

2) deadlifts 5 sets of 8 reps

Superset the following:

3) incline leg press 3 sets of 25 reps (killer, the deep burn kicked in at about rep 12 so the last 13 reps were insane but doable)
Pull ups 3 sets of 6 reps but with a 4 sec negative (this felt really tough after the battering the grip took from the Deadlifts)

Again not going for a massive number of exercises here but a greater focus on multiple sets and heavy poundages. each set was brutal but felt amazing. Was good to hit a different rep range, placed such a different demand on the muscles.

Finished with a good stretch, shower and a good old dose of magnesium spray on the legs followed by a good feed.

BOSH

Have a great weekend,

Matt
