Dufisthenics

As full as the gym was yesterday is as empty as it was today, it was quite odd.  Anyway I decided to take advantage of the lack of humanity to get in some deadlift sets despite working my legs pretty thoroughly the day before on the Cybex equipment.

I didn’t go too heavy, capping the weight at 315.  The grip in my right arm felt very poor, even with a mixed grip.  I don’t want to become dependent on straps to pull heavier weight but without using chalk it’s tough for me to keep the bar from slipping down my fingers.

I rounded out the work out with some pull-push work, supersetting top hold Australian pull ups with decline push up variations.
