Math may not be the subject of choice for our young lifters, but they sure do work hard trying to perfect the deadlift!
Ben

Deadlift
3-2-2-1-1-1

This means a set of 3 reps, a set of 2 reps, another set of 2, a "set of one" aka a "single." This few reps indicates maximal load, and indicates longer rest times.


Birthdays:
Happy Birthday to Katie and Sandy!

Should you be hitting your max on that first set of 1?

Also wondering what % you should be using on the 3/2 rep sets. I'm sure this will be gone over in class, but I'm just anxious... :)

peterson:

i dont know if there is a science to it but i would be pulling near max on my first single. deads can be dangerous so a lot depends on how you are feeling. some days you have it and some days you dont. my set of three would be about 70 percent of my one rep max. From here, my set's of two would be 75 and 85% and from there I would probably jump 90-95% depending on how I felt. I would try to pull a PR on second to last one and see what happened with the last one. Obviously before putting on 70% for your 3, you need to significantly warm up with lighter weights but I would start counting there.

So sad about Jack LaLanne! What a wonderful life! He is quoted in that newsclip saying that inactivity is the biggest killer. As I watch my parents age, I couldn't agree more...Farewell,Jack!

Todd said...

Steph - I have the Broad Street Run on 5/1, so will be unable to do the Metro. Is anyone doing the Brandywine Mud Run this year?

Dana said...

Way to go ladies!!!!!! Great job. It's so much fun to see you all getting so strong! Woot Woot! That was awesome.

Jason Lyons said...

happy b-day katie (dont know which one) and sandy.

information on sectionals was posted but not much. they said it starts march 15th and will last SIX weeks. a new workout will be posted every tuesday and you have until sunday to get it validated at an affiliate or uploaded to a website. this seems interesting. it is asking a lot of affiliates to be available to anyone that wants to do a workout in my humble opinion

Solid deadlift work at the 4:30 class! A good amount of PR's and solid work on form and perfecting the lift!

Guys, just a reminder after looking at the pictures to have your neck/head in a nice neutral position. There is nothing high on the wall in front of you...promise.
