Have had a pretty good week this week with some nice weights being lifted. Today was deadlift day and I was hoping to finish off the heavy part of the week with some good numbers. Using the metal platform to deadlift off as this allows me to loop my No# 1 bands over the bar and had plenty of tension to the lift. 65kg of tension.
Set up is still the same except you have to adjust for the bands not allowing you to roll the bar. Also you have to try and place it in the right place so you are not to far forward or back thereby not giving yourself room to lift. Have a look at my lifts and you will see how it is set up. Speed off the floor could have been a lot better as well as during the pull in the center of the lift although you do get a lot of tension very quickly. There is 225kg on the bar plus the 65kg of band tension so 290kg at the top. Lockouts could have been a bit stronger as well.
225kg + 65kg Band Tension Set 1
225kg + 65kg Band Tension Set 2
225kg + 65kg Band Tension Set 3
However I am happy with the 890kg weekly total which is 5kg ahead of the third week of the last cycle and with 1 more week (which is max effort week) to go there is going to be some big numbers. Still gotta be happy.
Also did some Shoulder presses 4 sets of 60kg for 6 reps as well as some pronated dumbbell presses 3 sets of 8 reps with 30kg and 35kg dumbbells and finished it off with some band rear delts using the No# 2 Bands.
