5-23-14 – DE Conventional Speed Deadlifts

This week, Mike wanted me to finish out dynamic effort lower body on a good note so we could get ready to go heavy next week. Last dynamic effort day just about killed me afterwards. Holy shnikes! Anyways, so I need to work on my speed off the floor, and that’s what we did today, with 2 chains, cuz I’m different, yea I’m different. After warm ups, I hit the twelve working sets, one rep each, with 30 second rest periods in between to work on my GPP (general physical preparedness… aka quickening breathin/heart rate recovery time and endurance). I did a superset with calf raises and toe raises (more like, toe pulls) with the orange band. Those are going to kill me later, I’m sure! It will help with my terrible ankle flexibility (specifically my right side). Overall it was a great training session!
