Deadlift m2 w3

Maxwell Daily Dozen
Agile 8
3min stationary bike
DL 135x5, 185x5, 225x5, 275x5, 305x3, 340x3
Squat 135x5, 165x5, 185x3, 215x3
Back raise 2x12, 1x15
HLR 5x3 between squats, 7,6,5
Seated calf raises 3 light sets
Sprints 6x 50m

-The other week I resolved to hang it up on the deads when I felt my grip going. This is no good. When I was using chalk before grip was not an issue so I was simply hanging on 340x9 was the result. Without chalk I need to concentrate on squeezing the bar and make sure my hands are as dry as I can get them before starting the set. Look into wrist bands.
-On the bright side sprints were pretty good.

-picking up the pace a little with the intervals - a trip across the field is somewhere in the neighborhood of 20sec close to full speed and 90sec walking back.
