BREAK THROUGH YOUR PREVIOUS BEST!


What exactly do i mean by breaking through your best? Today I thought I want to Deadlift today. one of my favorite lifts ever. My previous best was around 415lbs. Today i had a 2nd thought....Why not bust right past that number. I went to the gym with that on my mind and that's exactly what i pulled off!!!! 455lbs.
This is the run down:
Deadlift we did 3 sets of 5 working our way up in weight. then i started doing sets of 3's and finally sets of 1 just to save up energy for my Best lift effort!
After that we did Dumbbell split squats or reverse lunges whatever you wish to call them. With our front foot up on a box. makes a big difference trust me!
We supersetted that with heavy Dumbbell Stiff leg deadlifts to hammer those hamstrings.
It was a lunch time workout so that was pretty much our hour right there since the deadlifts took up so much time but if i could i would've added some seated leg curls and some leg press as well. Give it a go. use a weight your comfortable with and rest long enough to have enough energy for your next set
