We went after max effort deads again today. My body was hurting today after some brutal work thus far this week but I was still able to have a decent session. Today we were going for 5 x 1 hitting max effort on the last go. My sets looked as follows:
1 x 365
1 x 385
1 x 405
1 x 415
1 x 425
Even though I was in rough shape today, there was still progress. The rep at 425 went up pretty slow but I think I may have been able to pull 435#. Enough was enough though, and I didn't want to push my luck. Todays work puts me right about 40# behind my pr from May (462#). Three weeks ago when we started working deads I was 70-80# behind. So, I made up some pretty good ground. This marked the end of our current strength cycle but I still plan on trying to sneak in some max effort work on the squat and deadlift once a week.
After the ME deadlift work, I started to warm-up for a short met-con. But my body wasn't having it and every movement I tried, even just warming up, was causing a lot of pain. It was crazy. My body I was screaming. So I called it a day and decided it was time to rest.
