The road to 700 deadlift.

Chris Hickson · Posts: 175 Join date: 2008-11-13

Hi guys, Hickson here, basketball tryouts are gooing on now I am struggling to maintain my 250lbs Bodyweight. The 700 deadlift is a real major goal of mine, and hopefully can accomplish within the future. My bodyfat is at a near all-time low which is good, and another major goal of mine is to avoid maxing out often, which is my bad habit. ok
was sore on traps, abs, tris today so kept it light
lil jump rope
then
cleans
135x4x4

done, nothing impressive yet!

foot still hurts Shocked

pull downs
135x10

was in the newspaper as a "key reserve" for basketball, which doesn't really mean anything but just kinda cool.

when I am well rested my explosive lits are above normal, yet my brute strength seem lower.

bodyfat still decresing.
