09 Apr 08 wk 6 day 2

1) barbell squats: 205 ibs (spotter)
2) incline barbell press: 180 ibs (smith, spotter gone)
3) gironda sternum chins : 10, 10, 6
4) barbell military press: 130 ibs
5) barbell shrugs: 205 ibs
6) barbell curls: 110 ibs x 5
(then dropped it to 95 ibs x 5 x 2 no strength)
7) deadlifts : 285 ibs x 4 (+1 grip slipped)

right now, my butt hurts like hell esp my butt cheeks.
everything was pretty fine though i could feel
all my joints straining under all the poundages
in every ex.

hell arrived when i did my deadlifts, for the 1st 4 reps
before my grip slipped, everything was still under control.
when i tried for my final rep after restrapping, it felt
like i was trying to move a mountain.... my entire body
froze up esp my butt area.

after i let the weight back to the floor i could feel
my butt cheeks & part of my upper body ard e traps
totally tighten up & i just kinda squatted on the floor
for a good whole 5 to 10 seconds before getting up
& holding on to something again freezing for another 10
seconds. tot i was going to get a stroke right there & then.

why did i have such an experience? is my CNS on the
verge of being overfried?

It was probably partially mental due to the grip problem...partially physical due to the FACT THAT YOU DO DEADS LAST and that's heavy for you I think.  Plus, I don't think it's that abnormal to need 10-15 seconds to catch your breath and rebalance when using heavy weights.  Did you eat enough?
 
well, food wise, i believe i did. in fact, i added 20g extra
of oats in my pretraining meal.

sequence of deadlifts, i normally do it end of everything
as it's prob due to habit & after tat i'm totally zapped.
but i do agree that e weight is heavy by my standards.

ever tried doing deadlifts at the start & e rest of my
workouts kinda got affected.
