Today marked the start of a deadlift-centric cycle which will hopefully see the deadlift numbers climbing once again. The routine is a hybrid of Andy Bolton and Coan/Phillipi routines (I wanted to vary both height and weight, hence the inclusion of the rack pulls for ME days).
After warming up with a little ab work and some light deadlifts it was time for the slightly heavier stuff (at 60% of 1RM it's still pretty reasonable). I elected to do the accessory exercises straight through (rather than in circuit fashion as dictated in Coan's original routine); which simply meant far less weight changing. Much faster.
Deadlift (explosive, conventional stance) 8×3@107.5kg
Dimmel deadlift 3×8@60kg
Stiff-leg deadlift 3×8@80kg
T-Bar row 3×8@70kg
The last of the accessory exercises was the arched back good morning. As this was my first run with this variation I knocked out the required 3 sets using the bar only - rest assured that there'll be a bit of weight on there next time.
