Under the advice of a guy who competes regularly in the Scottish Highland Games and the International Strongman's Competition, I have decided to only deadlift twice a week instead of my original plan of three times a week. He said it's just too much of a shock on the ol’ central nervous system to deadlift that frequently. I'll turn Tuesday into a variety day. On that note, here's today’s workout:

Warm up with 45# cleans (learning the form and practicing this lift for warm-ups)
3 supersets:
3 reps per side Captains of Crush #1.5 gripper
5 reps per side pinch grip (using ironmind block) 20#
30 sec. hang on Eagle Loops
1 min rest

3,2,1,1 pull-ups 45 sec. rest between sets.

5 reps 55# side press
rest 1 min.
5 reps 45# side ress
rest 1 min.

3 reps per side 45# barbell windmills

write this blog entry, shower, get some sleep!

P.S. I know this has turned into my Workout of the Day blog and that could be pretty boring. I am working on several longer pieces of writing to spice things up and I am still collecting links for Links of the Week. More variety coming soon, I promise!
