Week 6 workout 2. The goal of this 14 week workout plan is to break through my personal bests of 245 bench press and 305 deadlift. Switched from a low-rep/high-weight workout to a high-set/medium-weight/medium-rep workout to build endurance and mass. [...]
Deadlift: 10 sets, 5 reps per set, 215 pounds. Start a new set every 90 seconds.

Mike Myers and I headed out this morning at 6:30am at our Middletown meeting place, the FOP hall near Route 4 and Route 122 on the West Side of Middletown. This is a great rolling hill ride through some scenic country between Middletown and Oxford, Ohio. Germantown is a beautiful small town with some great Victorian architecture about 10 miles into the ride.
