Following President Bush’s final State of the Union address to Congress, I headed off to the gym for a quick ME deadlift workout. After warming up with 2 sets of snatch grip deadlifts while on an elevated platform lifting 155 x 6 and 245 x 5 and concluding with a standard deadlift of 245 x 3, I continued by going with 61% of my 1RM.265 x 3 reps, with 6 sets and 90 seconds rest between the sets. The next grouping was done at just over 72% of 1RM. 315 x 3 with 6 sets and 90 seconds rest between each.The form was solid and the lifts were done quickly and easily. Finally, the last thing I did was 3 reps of Good Mornings at 45/65/95/133/155.I left with plenty in the tank so this was a good workout tonight.
