Back to Bodybuilding

 I'm quite proud of this back workout, I started off with deadlift.... and failed completely to achieve what I wanted. But I'm proud with myself for not giving up. I was hoping to do a few sets of 3reps on 200-220kg, but only just managed the same on 180kg. It may not sound like much, but from my perspective at the time it was terrible.  I tried several times to pull 200kg and it wasn't coming, and to add insult to injury, when I dropped back down to 180kg I only managed a single! Bombing out is always hard to handle. Especially as this has been the story of my deadlift for such a long time now. Only 2 years ago I did 20reps on 200kg in a single set!

This video is a bit on the repetive side but hopefully shows you the kind of work/volume I'm doing atm and the kind of HIT reps I'm doing from Mike Mentzer's teachings.
