This week I began the Single Movement Mind Conditioning portion of our workouts.

Today's work looked like this:
100 Deadlifts @ 139#
100 Hang Presses @ 65#
GHD Wall Ball 3 x 10 @ 9 lb. ball

I wanted to get 100 consecutive reps but fell way short on deads and hangs. My highest rep total was 30 on deads and 20 on hangs.

This is still a great workout and thanks to the guys at Gym Jones I have been enlightened about my training.
