April 8, 2009

Warm Up

10 minutes of rowing, I don't really know enough about these machines to know if I'm doing a good thing... 2:36 is my average for 500 meters, and I'm burning 600 plus calories per hour. From a subjective point of view it feels like I'm pulling along briskly.

Work Out

It is a pull day, I love pull day. Probably something about having short legs, and long arms makes my body good at it.

Dead lift, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1, 225#, 275#, 315#, 365#, 395#, 410#
BOR, 8, 8, 6, 5, 4, 135#
Gravitron Pull ups, 8, 8, 6, 6, 6

I called it good a little short today. My PR on Dead lift is 410# so pulling it for a single on my last set was really cool. Next time I go for a PR, I'll probably start at 405# and see where it goes. The one rep max calculators suggest 420#. Interestingly, at my weight, the strength standard charts on EXRX put that at only somewhere between Intermediate and Advanced. I'd have to pull 567 to be considered Elite. Humility.
