Today was a week 4, month 2 of Wendler's 5/3/1 program. If you haven't checked out Wendler's book yet, I highly recommend it. 5/3/1 is simple, fun and so far seem to be quite effective.

Today's workout focused on the deadlift, which is lift I don't see nearly enough trainees working in the gym. If you want to be strong, have thick back, powerful glutes and really bring up your hamstring strength, then deadlifts are a must. All athletes could benefit from stronger hamstrings because it will make you faster and help prevent pulling a hamstring when sprinting. Also, not that I spend a lot of time checking out other men's asses, but frankly a lot more dudes could stand to gain a bit of muscle mass around their ass. A powerful ass is a sign of athleticism, plus chicks dig it.

Here is the workout I did today, really simple but damn tiring:

• Foam Rolling
• Mobility Work
• A1 Deadlift
• 135 x 5, 225 x 5, 315 x 5, 405 x 5, 465 x 3, 500 x 1, 565 x 1
• A2 Pull-ups
• 7 x 8, various grips
• Atlas Stone Lifting
• played around with 285, 300, 315 stones for about 30 minutes

Keep deadlifting and you just might put some muscle on. But only use straps if you are bodybuilder pulling 800lbs for reps.
