Workout Log 3/25/13: Speed Deadlifts

Good afternoon, friends! Yesterday afternoon was my speed deadlift day. I had a lot of personal training cancellations due to the snow yesterday so I was able to get my workout in around 3:00 pm which is my favorite time to train! Here is what the workout consisted of:

Speed Deadlifts: 8x3 @50% with bands
Block Pull, Snatch Grip: 3x12 @50%
Olympic Stance Squats: 3x8
Shrugs: 3x12
Back Extension: 50 reps
Lat Pulldown: 4x15
Abs
Conditioning

Well I'm not sure which is more of a challenge, the Olympic stance squats or snatch grip deadlift. Between the two of those, I was completely exhausted after this workout. I did some planks and hanging crunches for abs and used the rower for conditioning just to switch it up a bit, as that is not normally something I do. Today my upper back is sore in places that I didn't even know were possible (thank you, snatch grip deads). I have a much needed rest day today (minus the 15 hour workday, yay.) But I plan to end the day with an Epsom salt bath and foam rolling and then tomorrow evening I get to enjoy a yoga class which  I am really looking forward to!

Have a great day, everyone! Remember, the harder you work, the luckier you get.

Also, never forget to stay committed to your training!!!
