7-12 Deads

I read Andy Bolton's article on deadlift training, so of course I decided pulling from blocks was a super idea. I did want to start pulling from lots of different heights anyway, so this fit.

Random warm up things (sledge swings, jump rope, light snatch, kb snatch, etc.)

8" Block Pull
245 x 5
335 x 5
425 x 3
515 x 2
605 x 1
625 x 1

These were all pretty easy. I haven't ever really pulled from this height and I think I could have gone heavier, but that was good for the night.

335 x 5 5 sets from the floor

Front Squat
I did a little bit of this.

BB rows
Jesse had this stupid idea about doing a pyramid of 1-10 and back down to 1, so 100 reps total. We had 100's on the bar so I decided 245 was a good weight to do this with.

I made it up and down, and I had 911 dialed up and ready to go for Jesse by the time he finished 9 on the way up.

Overall the workout felt good, but I kind of wish I would have done more pulling because they were all pretty easy and I'm not really feeling it too much. I really need to figure out what the hell I need to do to get my deadlift to move. Also, the workout took way, way longer than it should have in my opinion. I got there at about 530 and wasn't on my way home until 8. I have been known to train slow from time to time, and I need to work on my pace, but 2.5 hours for basically 3 lifts is ridiculous, especially deadlifts since they usually move pretty quick.
