The Workout:

Deadlift

365 x 1

Felt fairly easy and speedy for this weight. Quit here since this is 90 pounds more than last time I deadlifted heavier.

Reverse Lunges

10, 10

Goblet Squats

50 x 12

50 x 13

Hip Thrusts with band around knees.

20, 20

First time doing these I liked these, worth using the band sometimes in the future.

Laying leg curls – some.

BW Standing Calves

15, 12, 10

Pulldown Abs

50 x 15

Thoughts:

The training is working and lifts are getting easier to do. I have been playing with glute training a lot more than ever before right now. I wonder if that is helping my deadlift. I am going to keep running with this glute stuff and see if it helps push up my deadlift.

I do wonder if my historical lack of deadlift prowess is the result of weak glutes. My current thought is train the hell out of my glutes and see what happens. This is the kind of experimentation that makes lifting very fun.
