Well no-joy on the max Deadlift today as I failed at 365 lbs. which was only 15 lbs. more than my last max. I’m just too burned out from the last 5 weeks. I overreached by trying to jump right into the Westside program’s Dynamic and Max Effort work while maintain the same intensity with my Repetition (Bodybuilding) work . . . lesson learned.
On the bright side at least I Deadlifted heavy today and sure feel it. Only 30 minutes out from my workout and I’m already sore from my ankles to the base of my skull and all I want to do right now is crawl in bed and take a nap. Yup, that’s heavy Deadlifting for ya.
One thing I sure can say from doing Westside for a month is that I have learned one hell of a lot about how to powerlift better. Now it’s just a matter of stepping back and easing into the program so it’s sustainable and slowly build my tolerance to the higher intensity.
