5/3/1 w/WSFSB III Assist Template: Week 7 Deadlift

Sumo Deadlift w/35s: 115x10, 130x8, 160x6, 185x5, 195x5, 210x5, 225x6 (Rep Out Set). For my last "3 weeks" of sessions (a session everyday until Dec 22, then I'm outta Djibouti on the 23rd), I'm doing the same lift that I used 45s to test but using 35-pound plates instead for a longer pull. It went well, albeit a little tougher: my lower back was tested more so I was more deliberate with the reps.

Assisted GHR (Light Bands): 5 sets of 8

Assisted Situps (Light Bands): 5 sets of 20, 16, 14, 12, 10 reps.

Sumo Deadlift: 115x6, 135x6, 155x6, 175x6, 195x6, 215x6, 235x5, 245x2.
Behind The Neck Press: 45x12, 50x10, 65x8, 75x6, 90x5, 95x5, 100x5, 110x5 (Rep Out Set)
