Week 8 Pulls - 2/11/15

With RUM VIII I didn't train Sunday or Monday this week.  Just got back in last night for some pulls.  I changed up my DL training and am going to see how it goes with this meet.  Speaking of RUM we had a good time.  Mindy did really well but wasn't pleased with how things turned out.  She had tweaked her hamstring just a little moving around during her cut.  She was so dehydrated that its really a wonder it wasn't worse.  She missed her last squat with falling back, she had never done that before and looking at the video it looks like she had her foot placement off just a little.  But she had a nice 32 lbs squat PR.  Her bench has been off with some changes that she has recently made and she was very conservative.  She went 3 for 3 and ended with a 248 lbs bench, that is only 7 lbs off her best so in the big picture it was a good bench day.  Deadlifts had been going OK during her training cycle and her opener, 407 lbs,  went very smooth.  her second was 446 lbs only a couple pounds off her best but she got to the top and her hips just wouldn't push through.  I blame her hamstring but she has other opinions.  All in all compared to last years RUM she made a huge total PR of 112 lbs so she is definitely headed in the right direction.
Last night I worked up with doubles:
225 x 2
225 x 2

Block pulls focusing of form and speed:

I was gassed on these, we were going about every ninety seconds.  Fun...
