Monday "Deadlift 3-3-3-3-3"

John L finishing the Sumo Deadlift High Pull portion of "Dead on the stairs" at the end of his 3rd Foundations Fitness Class. Great technique John and a pleasure to have you in classes with us now!

After a solid warm-up, complete 5 sets of 3 on barbell deadlifts with the goal of having everyone finish at their 3 rep max. There will be some failures; it's the nature of this kind of workout. If you don't fail, you don't know you've reached your limit. Reaching the limit is not everyone's goal, I realize.

There was some great technique floating around the classes today. Nice set-ups, tight cores, good back angles, good strong finishes. The group has really improved it's skills as lifters and the results show that.

Congrats to all for some impressive sets today!

Mike 315-365-365-405-315- lots left in the tank Mike, but you'll need it for the Crash-B's on Sunday. Good luck with them!

Sheila 135-155-175-195-200 - more left for you too Sheila but smart to keep on the "light" (hahaha) side for now until that back is fully healed.

Paula 135-155-165-175 F(0)-170 F(3) Way to go and get 3 at 170 Paula. I also thought you did a good job of being coachable as you got to a fail point. Good work!

Tracy 135-155-175-195-200 They went up slow at the end with some hard work. Solid technique and some extraordinary muscle stamina shown off today!

Bill 315-335-365 F(3)-275-275

Mike,

Did you get 3 reps at 405? If you did, nice weight.
