249.6
Weird how measurable weight always seems to go down on the weekends when I'm cheating on my diet. I wonder if it has something to do with getting more sleep combined with less intense weekend workouts, i.e. more efficient recovery? What would happen if I made sure to get 8 hours every night for two weeks combined with eating well and working out? Could I drop 10 pounds during that period? This is something to think about.
Workout:
Deadlifts 5-5-5-5-5-5-3
Loads: 45-95-135-165-190-215-235
Inverse Rows: 5 X 6 on the smith machine
I think I'm doing Deadlifts wrong at lower weights. Deadlifts are supposed to start with your legs. You get a good grip on the bar and then you basically try to push your feet through the floor. This is what gets the weight off the ground and to a level where your lower back takes over. But, at lower weights, you can cheat and use your back more, which is what I think I'm doing. The thing is, once the load gets heavy enough, you HAVE to use your legs because that's really the only way it'll work. The weight won't budge if you don't push down with your legs. So, I need to fix that. When I'm doing a progression, I need to make sure I'm doing the exercise properly at all load levels. I'll bet this is slowing up my progress.
