Diane, I wish you'd stop talking dirty to me

I met a trashy lady today, her name was Diane. She wanted to use me, fast and hard and she wanted to "See what I can do."

"Diane," replied Popedog in a half-excited tone, "what have you in store for me today?"

"I want to see what you can DO, soldier boy, now show me that sugar."

Well when it was all said an done, that tramp used me for 4:10, quick and hard just like she promised (heart rate was SCREAMING at the max for most of this and nearly puked):

21 DL @ 70 KG (155 lbs)
21 modified HSPU
15 DL @ 70 KG
15 modified HSPU
9 DL @ 70 KG
9 modified HSPU

I also did a workup heavy deadlift to 5 rep max:
135x5 (61.3KG), 225x5 (102.2KG), 265x5 (120.5KG), 285x5 (129.5KG) (Owches!!)

I feel like the weight was right on for the deadlifts, as the last set of 9 I was starting to struggle on the last few reps. I can't do the full on HSPU yet, but modified offer a small challenge. I haven't figured out how to make the transition, but with a body-weight of 101 KG, I'm not ready to make that leap.

Going to review the deadlift form, I suspect I have been going with too wide of a leg stance, and butt not low enough. Other than that, I feel like it's rocking for sure :)

(Edit: I reviewed the form and found that I'm doing deadlifts a bit wrong, too wide of a grip, which changes start position and some other things. my form wasn't as bad as I thought though. also, my push press form sucks. I'm going to fix that moving forward.)

"Diane"

WO:

Work up heavy deadlift (5 reps / weight as you go). End up with a 5RM set.

"Diane":
21 - 15 - 9 reps of:
Deadlift 105 kg
HSPU's

I had to scale it a "little" bit :P This was my results:
21 DL @ 80 kg
6 HSPU
15 DL @ 80 kg
4 HSPU
9 DL @ 80 kg
5 HSPU

5 min 30-somethings seconds. I think it was 5:37

Deadlifts:
I ended up at 140 kg, could probably have gone up another 30 kilo's. My back starts to hurt a little bit these days as I go past 100 kg's. Since the pain was less than previous weeks, I'm going to try to keep away from my previously very heavy (180 kg on working-set) DL's and just do as few as possible - until I feel as if my back no longer hurts.

On Diane, I wish that I would have gone for 90 kg or even 100 kg. I only let go of the weight to change grips. The last 4 were painful but I wouldn't have minded having the last 9 split into 3. Perhaps 105 kg wouldn't have been bad if we wouldn't have started with heavy DL's.

The HSPU's went pretty fine for the first 6. I split them into 3's. The second ones were heavy and since I thought it was 6 - 4 - 2, I quit after 4. Unfortunate for me! I was told that it was 6-5-4 when I had done 2 in the last set. It was heavy but it went ok. I can't wait until I get my HSPU-reps up to 10's. Going to start adding extra HSPU's a couple of times / week just to get them up.

Probably slept too little last night. Going to go dancing this evening and then try to sleep out tomorrow :)

Simon out!
