BIG DEADLIFT PR & GLUTES Workout // Mic’d Up *Intense* Leg Day

12-WEEK WORKOUT PROGRAM http://www.hunterchiltonfitness.com Big conventional deadlift PR of 330lbs (more than double my bodyweight) for the win in today's workout!! AHH so exciting!! I had a really tough week so I honestly didn't even know if I had it in me to attempt any sort of PR, but I felt good and went for it! I also show you some glute work that I did afterward as well. This video is a more raw and real version of my training and being mic'd up was an added bonus to show you all how hard lifting can be for anyone! I also oddly enjoyed talking to you guys and rambling during my training.... is that normal? lol So hopefully you all enjoyed the switch up and a bit of a different video format! My 1RM take-aways: This is why I love recording my sets because it allows me to go back and see exactly what I did right and also what I did wrong. I was super proud of my form for pulling 330lbs for my first time ever and I want to make clear that a true 1RM PR will NEVER be perfect. You first get the weight up, then you spend months perfecting it until it becomes easy and you have a new PR weight to hit. Watching back I can see immediately where I messed myself up a bit and I will explain. Just prior to pulling you can see I did a second shift of my upper-body. Most likely a nervous motion I did to re-assure myself I was locked in. This shift caused me to lose that lat tension I had locked in and so when I began pulling my lats were not as engaged or tight as they should have been. This led to me immediately round more than I would have if I had that lat tightness engaged prior. Funny enough, I knew when I did it but at the same time did not want to reset because I had so much adrenaline built up and was afraid if I reset I wouldn't be able to pull it. I felt I was still tight enough and went for it. So yes, I got it and it felt great for what it was, but in hindsight, I knew better. Now knowing this and visually seeing it, I can now work on it and hopefully not make that mistake again! Regardless, I kept my core extremely tight and engaged, my hamstrings were trembling lol, and it honestly felt really good! So although I didn't do it perfectly, it was an awesome first attempt and I am extremely proud of myself. 1 RMS in general: My personal outlook as a coach and heavy lifter myself on 1 RM training is that if you are not a competitive powerlifter who competes, you really don't need to be attempting a TRUE 1 RM more than 1-2 times a year - if at all - depending on your current training goals. It is extremely taxing on the body and the risk does not outweigh the reward. I personally power-build so this is why I do test my 1RM, but I only do so 1-2 times a year. The rest of the year I am working with varying techniques and rep ranges to build my strength in a more conservative matter. Less risk - more reward. So do what you want but that is just my personal take on 1 RM attempts! xx Hunter ————————————————————— LIFTING GEAR & MY FITNESS FAVORITES: https://www.amazon.com/shop/hunterchi...
