Arizona Method, W3D1
3s Week: Press and Deadlift 3s. Today I was able again to get the press day and deadlift day into a single session. Video of top sets at Geoffrey Bischoff on Instagram: “Arizona Method week 3: 3s week. Press: 212.5x3 (3PR!). Deadlift: 455x4 (4PR!). Today was tough. God lent me strength to get thru. SDG…”
Press: 175x3, 195x3, 212.5x3 (3PR!)
Tried for a 4th on that last press set. I had it, but my brain quit on me while the bar was still rising. Something's mentally off for me the last couple days; concentration has been difficult. This seems to be another example of whatever's bugging my brain.
Deadlift: 405x3, 435x3, 455x4 (4PR!)
I really wanted 5 of these. Reps 1 thru 3 came up in 2-ish seconds; rep 4 took 4+ seconds and drained me so I didn't go for the 5. I'll look at the video later and see what the issue is. In the past my problem with late-set efficiency has been directly related to getting "into my heels" rather than over midfoot as fatigue sets in.
No real complaints, though: Two PRs in an evening.
