I won’t call this easy, but I was very comfortable. I’ve decided to go heavy, medium, light with my pressing ladders since I’ll be trying to do this 3x per week with 3-4 days off. So far so good, I’m already stronger.
During my grip workshop I blew through a GR5 and two decks of cards like they were nothing, and leveraged a 10 pound sledge hammer with authority.

Pressing ladders were good, the new weight is fine. Made it through these ladders without much issue, but I took a break between rungs 2, 3, and 4.
Deadlifts are still relatively easy. I think once I go over 300 I’ll start feeling it more.
I’ll be taking more time off, backing off the bending for a while and make sure I recover properly from this volume.

5 ladders of 5 rungs

235 10x5
Grip Work
Farmers Walks
Holding two 8 kg. bells by the bottom- 50 ft.
Holding two 10 lbs. plate together- 2 sets of 50 feet

It’s about time to move up on the pressing ladders. The 5 ladders on the 20 kg. bells is no challenge. Partially because I’m working out the technique flaws that have been holding me back.
The deadlifts actually got easier as I went. I could have kept going on the sets of 235 but time ran out.
I’ve figured out that I need a day off before doing this. I think that’s why it was so hard last time.
I’m going to start practicing loaded cleans with the 40 kg. The time is drawing near...

Deadlift and Side Press
03/05/09 11:46
This was the first day of a PTTP style template focused on deadlifts and presses. I used the Bear alteration to add some more mass to assist me in pressing the Beast at some point, and because I like being bigger within reason.
Deadlift
275 1x5
250 1x5
225 10x5
Side Press
45 5x5/5

I started off pretty conservatively with the Deadlift and Side Press poundages, and that paid off. The 10 sets of 5 reps at 225 ended up being a beating. I’m still getting a feel for the side press, but I’ll start upping the weight on that soon.
