Lift

Did something a little different in the weight room today.

9 pull-ups
stiff-leg deadlifts: 6 at 95, 6 at 135lb
romanian deadlifts: 2x6 at 135lb
single-rep deadlifts: 185lb, 205lb
2x6 hang cleans, 95lb
abs (misc. crunches, bicycle kicks, incline medball situps, etc)
db curls: 8 at 20, 8 at 25lb
bb preacher curls: 8 at 45lb
single arm upright db rows: 8 at 25lb
farmer's walks: 1 circuit at 45, 1 at 40lb

I was worried about dropping the weights if I tried to deadlift more. I tried to hang-clean 105lb, and could only do it twice before giving up. Aside from my weak form, my grip strength is awful--which is why I did the farmer's walks at the end of my workout. I sacraficed depth in exercises (no chin-ups, fewer sets of curls, etc) to get a broader workout. The db rows hurt my shoulder a little. Ab exercises are unfamiliar, so I'm easing into them (read: being a pussy and not doing much). I'd like a lifting coach to help me in my deadlift and hang-clean form. But, overall, it was a good lift.
