Training Log: Entry 3543

**OPERATION PLANET MONGO**

AM WORKOUT (1100)

Deadlift
15+3+4x405

Notes:

* Had the realization that, with the way my schedule breaks down and my extra training day on next week Monday, I can roll the final week of Tactical Barbell one workout to the right and finish it on Monday, so I made today purely a day to get in this deadlift set, which also worked out since it's Memorial Day and we all had the day off.  Didn't want to spend it lifting. 

* Being able to perform this set in isolation from everything else was awesome.  Total focus and dedication.  And it felt AWESOME.  Typically, once I get to the floor, I lose some reps, but I kept all 15.  Yeah, the final one was a grinder, but it was there, and I actually got 8 reps before I needed another breath, which was big for this training cycle.

* Focusing on getting my hips under my shoulders at the start has really paid off: zero hip pain.  Last time I attempted this, I got in 12 reps, and I hurt from it.  

* I MAY have been able to get in some more reps on those follow on sets, but juice wasn't worth the squeeze.  The first pull was the goal.

* Before all this, I did a bunch of mowing and weed whacking while wearing my 20.4lb Tac Vest, so got in some decent general activity for the day as well.
