Another beautiful day in sunny Calgary. Since the weather was so nice I decided to ride my bike to the gym so I could soak up some sun and get some extra exercise. For our max effort drill we chose to do Good Mornings. Good Mornings are a great drill to make you strong through the all important posterior chain (calves, hamstrings, glutes, back). These will bring your squat and deadlift up so don't neglect them.

• Bike to gym
• nice and easy as a warm-up
• Good Mornings
• worked up to a max
• basically until I could barely bend forward
• Speed Deadlifts
• 10 sets of 1 with 70% of my max
• TRX Ab Fall Outs
• Bike home
• again, nice and easy just to get some sun and burn a few calories

Here is a video of the final good morning lift of the workout. I tried this weight, 484lbs, but could barely bend forward with it for 1 rep. Mario, probably the strongest guy member of Independent Powerlifting, hit this weight for a nice triple at Remington's Gym.
