I won the 100$ 7-Game on FullTilt today, after coming back from a 1:3:10 chip disadvantage 3handed, and then from being a 1:3 dog heads-up vs cal42688, one of the best MTT players over all variants. Best maniac I have ever had the joy to play with
Funny thing is, I am still in make-up, despite that score, but I'm really close to even now, and have a lot of good events coming up this month.
I started doing regular deadlifts again, but only up to the weight that I can frontsquat, since I really want to go slow on upping the weight at deadlifts. One reason is, that I want to keep using an undergrip (like when doing barbell curls) and don't want to rip of my biceps, and it's also a lot easier to keep my upper back straight like this, compared to a regular or mixed grip.
I will simply do 3 sets of 8 reps of deadlifts with the same weight that I can frontsquat for 2-3 reps, and lower the time of breaks in between the sets, if it gets too easy. Will do deadlift at the end of the upper-body day on Thursday, and heavy frontsquats on Tuesday, as usual.
Looking forward to playing four huge PLO MTT's this Monday, and then finally have time to go to the gym again on Tuesday, when there is just a smaller buy-in speed-down* event of the Omaha Series.
*I think way more tournaments should be speed down, with 5x 3 minute blinds, then 5x6, 5x9, 10x12, 10x15, and then 20 minutes until the end. It's so obviously superior, that I just don't get it why this is not the norm yet. Less play when everyone is a nit, and way more play when it's getting to the final-table.
