Notes:

* First heavy deadlift session since I tore my tricep/lat about 3 months ago.  I took it very cautious and slow, and used the axle to artificially constrain the load.  I’ve got some video to upload later, but this was challenging but not insurmountable.  I feel like I’m in a good spot, and can hopefully keep my health together long enough to build back to some solid deadlifting.  Part of me is thinking about going 5x5/3/1 for deadlift day, just to groove heavy deadlifts back into my life, but we’ll see.

* Once again, ideally we’d populate this day with a bit more conditioning, but it’s a family week this week.  I’ve got Tang Soo Do later and can most likely squeeze in some jumps/throws.

* Rounding out my second work week on the Apex predator-esque approach.  By Friday, I’m looking pretty flat, but that’s my own doing for keeping this so low carb.  I’m looking to get some carbs in this weekend, as that seems to be a decent way forward.  

* Picked up Jamie Lewis’ latest book on the Feast/Famine/Ferocity protocol.  I think that might be in my future.

PM workout was TABEARTA and 30 GHRs.  I have to get used to feeling strong on the PM workouts again.  I was carrying SO much fatigue before.

  1. Great to hear you're healed enough to deadlift heavy again! A tricep tear is something I haven't gone through (yet); seems like it didn't impact your pressing ability too much, did it?

    1. Appreciate it dude. It was interesting: pushing wasn't an issue, but it couldn't support any sort of pulling. Specifically the eccentric of pulling. It was basically only failing as an antagonistic muscle.
