Day 3 Of Delorme
Load: Light
Volume: Low
Today was a very easy workout. I wonder if such a load/volume causes any sort of structural change, but alas, it does allow for more frequency and a bit more volume and as the load climbs in the upcoming weeks, I will see more of it's purpose coming to fruition. 5 sets of 5 @ 50% of your 10 rep max ain't exactly a killer. It's probably roughly 40 % of a 1RM or so. Nonetheless, I completed the workout. I aimed to focus on proper technique and also practicing as though the weights were heavy, although they still moved very easily.
Here's the breakdown
Floor Press 95lbs x5x5
Snatch Grip Deadlifts 95 lbs x 5 x 5
Total Tonnage
Floor Press: 2,375 lbs
Snatch Grip Deadlifts: 2,375 lbs
About 1/5 of Mondays Load
It is odd because I am often use to being exhausted post training and sometimes on non-training days as well, so I'm happy that that's not the case on this program, and I'm sure that won't change too much because there's only the one heavy day a week. Even the medium load represents a very modest amount of weight and volume, but it will set me up for the hard Monday.
