Ashman – the pre and post Christmas workout

If you think I trained Christmas day, you are crazy.

I am diehard when it comes to my lifting but holidays are holidays for me.

In true Christmas spirit I ate a lot of food, had a lot of fun and passed out from a carb coma.

Christmas Eve’s workout:

** Deadlift **
– 135.0 lbs x 3 reps
– 135.0 lbs x 3 reps
– 225.0 lbs x 2 reps

– 275.0 lbs x 2 reps
– 275.0 lbs x 2 reps
– 275.0 lbs x 2 reps
– 275.0 lbs x 2 reps

Speed from the floor is a problem for me so I doubled up some mini bands and will work on this on my second deadlift day. I will increase weight each week by 5-10 pounds until I hit 315 and then I will add more bands.

Speed deadlift work is the one thing that helped me a lot in the past.
