Today was rough work. I overestimated my strength-endurance and smoke-checked myself. I am really starting to see the effects of cutting weight on my strength and energy levels, but I'm happy with the results so far. I'm down to 210 lbs and getting visibly leaner.
I warmed up with the 4-way neck machine 100lbs x4x15
Here was today's intended workout:
Squat 275 lbs x12
Rest 1 min
CHINS +25 lbs x12
Rest 1 min
Deadlift 275 lbs x12
Rest 1 min
Dips +45 lbs x12
Rest 1 min and repat 2 more times
In reality I couldn't pull the bar from the floor on the third circuit, and halfway through circuit 2 rest periods were about 1.5 min long. After stopping, I ended up sitting down and looking like a zombie for about 10 min while I waited for my body to recover enough to unload the bars, a task that took a long time itself.
I've done this workout in the past and it never fails to get me either puking or on the verge of puking. It is definitely effective though.
