8-16-14 – Heavy Deadlifts from a Deficit
Posted in Jesse Kurth Training Log
It’s max effort lower body day and today I’m working on 2.5 inch deficit dead lifts. I didn’t hit my goal of hitting 370 for a PR but I got close with 365. For me the hardest part of deficit deads is to keep my chest up the entire time when it comes to heavier weight. My set up is all right but as soon as I start to lift my butt picks up and my back begins to arch. This is something that I will be working on in the future and hopefully I will be hitting big PRs soon.
