"Leaving a little on the platform"

W/ Matt
Warmup
Deadlift: work up to 355x5, 401x3, 446x5 (1)
Reverse BB lunges w/ front squat grip and front foot elevated (they suck) 2x15 ea. side/ 45, 95
GHR 4x10 weighted
45* reverse hyper w/ short strap 3x15/ 490
Wide grip lat pulldowns w/ prison bar 4x15/ 140, 160, 180, 185

Matt pulled something stupid like 545x5 or 6. I got him back by jumping right into the lunges. By the end of the hour we both were dragging. I tore open a scab on my shin and bled all over the bar and me while pulling and he looked disgusted and said, "I know you are supposed to leave a little bit on the platform but do you mind taking your scab with you!?!" Sheesh. I cleaned up after myself. Some people...I was pretty pleased with the 446x5. Considering last week I pulled 435x3 and in the last cycle I pulled 430x3, I am liking this program.

To my comrade Brookszinski, forced into hard labor in the gulags of Middletown, that one was for you!

Stay strong,
Ed T.
