7.24.13 Conventional Deadlift

Check out this free metal mix album from Amazon.com.  Some is good, some is ok, but it's free!

Yesterday's training, which would have been a bodybuilding day, was replaced by rolling around with some guys from the wrestling club.  I took a few things away from this, including a black eye, the knowledge that I'm nowhere near wrestling shape, some strained intercostals, and a neck so fatigued that I can hardly hold up my head.  It was a lot of fun.

Today, I only did main lifts, no accessory since because of fatigue from wrestling, and I decided to do some opposite stance deadlift today to give the old hip a break.  Since I haven't pulled conventional heavy in a couple years, I got a free PR out of it.

Squat, low bar
295 x 5

Squat, high bar
295 x 5

Opposite (conventional) Deadlift
405, 425, 445, 455
 


So, my conventional deadlift sucks.  Still, it felt good.  If I ever compete raw, I'll probably use conventional.  I realize that I'm going the complete other way from my previously stated opinion here.
