Week 3 Day 4 Deadlift

Week 3 is over and I'm only feeling like a small bus hit me so success!! Energy levels are in the tank, which should be a normal response from anybody doing this program properly or else the weight was not heavy enough. Next is two days off from training and then deciding if a week deload is next or continue for another 3 weeks then deload. I'm a long ways out from any competition so I'm leaning towards no deload. This would mean I start over at week 1 except I increase my 1 rep max squat / deadlift by 10 lbs and military press / bench press by 5 lbs. I will ditch regular stance deadlifts and sub in hex bar deadlifts for week 1/2 and sumo for week 3. Drop the paused sumo deadlifts on day 2 and replace with RDL's. Two workouts per training week involving a deadlift movement was too much for my lower back and it did paid absolutely no dividends on week 3. The big thing too watch for coming off a heavy training week is how the body responds going into a 5 x 5 week. If the weights feel heavy as shit I know I should have taken a deload week. Lesson learned for next time around.
Onto the workout today. Started with a good warm up leading into paused squats. Between my sets of paused squats I supersetted in hex bar walk-abouts. For the paused squats I stayed at the programmed weight and all three sets felt gtg. Next up was sumo deadlifts and the heavy sets moved a little slow off the floor for my liking but I finished all 3 sets with no issues. Did not strap up on any of my sets so grip was also worked. I finished up with a few sets of barbell shrugs.
Moving forward I'm going to write just 1 blog per week, giving an overview of the weeks training, instead of boring you to death with daily ones.
Train insane gym rats!!
