Wow. Thats all I can say

Hey everyone, just a heads starting Monday we will be have 3 high school kids (2 sophomores, and 1 freshmen) joining us. They are rugby players of mine. I don't say this a warning, but more of a heads up. I may have to step aside from time to time to give them more attention since a lot of this stuff will be new to them. Don't be afraid to show them the ropes and help keep them in line haha :) We all remember how we were in high school.

Deadlift 5 RM (add 10 lbs to last workout)

Here is a Talk to Me Johnnie throw back and on of my favorite "Deadlifts & Viagra." Side note if you haven't made your way over to TTMJ yet do so, there are some serious knowledge bombs on there. In this post John explains why we use the deadlfit sparingly once you make the switch to Collegiate. When I first read this post it also lead me to change the way I warm up. When I first started I would do 4-7 warm up sets with 5 reps at each one. By the time I got to my working set I was pretty smoked. Looking back its obvious now, but at the time I never made the connection. Now when I warm up I will still do the same number of sets however I drop the reps significantly it may be something like this: Set (1) 3-5 reps, Set (2) 3 reps, remaining sets 1-2 reps. I just want to do enough to feel the weight and warm up the CNS, not completely tax it. I also focus on speed off the floor. How do you warm up? Have you experimented to find what works best for you?
