Magnusson/Ortmayer Cycle - week 6
Deadlifts
4 x 4 x 175kg
2 x 200kg
2 x 225kg
8 x 175kg
Pretty happy with my deads today, grip was feeling a bit ****ty but my form was pretty good. The last heavy set felt amessy and slow as hell but video evidence proved me wrong. Maybe it was just the lack of oxygen to the brain slowing things down.

Pullups
50 reps
Started off supersetting these with DB SLDLs but my lower back was near breaking point so I quit after 2 sets.

Kroc Rows
16 x 40kg
24 x 40kg
Was a bit of a pussy on the first set but after Paz hit 18 reps for his second set (and he's 20kgs lighter than me) I pulled my tampon out and went for broke. Broke broke me.

Vids
2 x 225kg Deadlift


8 x 175kg Deadlift


My training partner Paris - 2 x 155kg Deadlift@75kg bw

He needs some work on his form still but its a vast improvement on his last 1rm attempt. He has an amazing over-developed lower back from a life time of surfing and his legs need to catch up.
