Christmas Deadlifts, start of a new cycle

Only the dedicated... :)

It's a new cycle for this lift, too (with new deadlift shoes). I will NOT be peaking out before Nationals with this one, and will probably end with 325 as I had before the Hudson Open meet.

Light and easy sets for Christmas Day, with a single that is 100 lbs. less than last week's...

Sumo Deadlifts
45x6 (conventional)
45x6 (sumo)
135x1
165x1
195x1
225x1 (loose and notorious neon orange training suit, courtesy of Pete Alaniz/Titan)

Heavy single of the day...
240x1

Drop sets...
210x4x3

Conventional DLs
185x4x3

Weighted Ab Crunches
25x20x3

Low Ab Crunches
10x15x3

The orange squat suit, perfect for a Christmas training day at The Press. What a great way to spend Christmas!

Yes, deadlifts are the greatest way to start any holiday (definitely a new year).

I have to say, though -- with a suit like that thing, who needs LCD lights?? :)
