Go Big

Daniel and I went to Coles today with the intention of trying this workout from the last Outside magazine that went under the heading of Go Big. The plan is to determine your estimated max (EM) for an exercise. Then you do 10 reps at 35%, 5 reps at 55-60%, 2 reps at 70-75%, 1 rep at 85%, 1 rep at 95%, 1 rep at EM. If you get it try 1 up, if you don't try 1 down. We added a second up and down each.

We did this for the benchpress with an EM of 150 for Daniel and 175 for myself. Hence we lifted the following.
DM: 55, 85, 110, 130, 145, 150 (F), 145 (F), 140 (F).
GF: 60, 100, 125, 150, 165, 175, 180, 185 (F).

Deadlift (3x3): 135, 155, 175.

Wide Pullups
DM: 5, 5, 4
GF: 10, 7, 9

Rolling 45 pounds dumbbell to tip of finger and back up: 3x5.

Trying to get the deadlift back in the set of things we do, but I am trying not to get my back injured. The goal would be to reach 2 x body weight (i.e. 300 for Daniel and I).

Kristas are a good one to finish.
