**Let’s pick up some more heavy shit today! How are your forearms feeling from those dballs? Mine are a little tight hand my hands feel puffy, all the more reason to keep using them – toughen them up! *fist bump*
Starting off with dead-stop deadlifts to a heavy 3, then dropping the weight and doing more ‘cardio’ deadlifts, aka ‘touch and go’. Sandwiching the latter between push ups and hang power cleans. Like I said, the grip is going to get a little more work today, so this is prime time to make sure we’ve got a good amount of tension in the upper back so we aren’t curling the bar, and that we’re using our legs to elevate the bar as well. Reps are low enough that you should be able to string together the deadlifts and hang power cleans. Also low enough to speed through those push ups, so make sure we’re hitting lock out!
