After first attempt at CEO(DL)

I just finished 45minute session of CEO / DeadLift

started with 375 but didn't think I could keep it up for a long time so after one trial set I dropped the weight to 305.

No belt- No Strap

305 x 3 x 4 sets with exactly 30 secs of break each
dropped 10lbs on each side
285 x 3 x 5
dropped 10lbs on each side
265 x 3 x 5
dropped 10lbs on each side
245 x 3 x 5
dropped 10lbs on each side
225 x 3 x 7
dropped 10 lbs on each side
205 x 3 x 10
dropped 10lbs on each side
185 x 3 x 10

First off. this thing is not easy... OMG especially in sauna like garage.
also, watching a baseball game does not pump you up at all... especially if it's a defensive ball game on both sides lol

so for this week I will try to dead lift CEO only without doing any other workouts.  to see how much it really works. My back feels so full and hot it's ridiculous-
I dropped weights as my forms start to go bad, like when my back starts to bend, I dropped the weights. I feel like I could've done more so maybe for tomorrow, I'll keep the weights little more heavy for more sets.

Total of 138 Reps of dead lift. and dead lift only. from Nick's report it was supposed to be around 135 reps per workout session so I did okay. However, my grip started to fail around 90th rep and had to use wrist strap. but didn't use lifting belt through out. I can't imagine using FatGripz for this exercise. hmmm maybe oneday I'll be able to do so.

Anyhow, I'm still sitting in the garage as I'm typing this with the garage door opened all the way. Watching the Rangers play and hearing the fireworks in the background.

Happy 4th! and Keep working hard!
