505 rack pulls and lifeless legs.
Yeah, well I was supposed to do two reps at 430, but one about killed me. It should have been super easy. I knew I was in trouble when 225 felt heavy.

I did not sleep well, so I skipped working out in the morning. I went after work. I always notice there are more man buns in the afternoon, than in the early morning.
Probably will see some man buns in that hard core gym too.
I have lived most of my life in a small, small town. I still remember the first one I saw, in 1989.

It didn’t feel very strong today. I was pretty down on things until Rob challenged me for 25 reps of 225 at the end. 24 is my record. I didn’t get it, but I feel pretty good with 22 reps after the previous sets. I even let a scream out that sounded like a little girl on rep 20 or so.

I am too stubborn to understand I can’t deadlift on back to back weeks. I’m not happy with today, and will repeat it in two weeks. I was trying to cram things in and once more learned my lesson.
I had planned on a little more, but everything was too heavy.

I must be getting old, because I hurt my left shoulder sleeping. I woke up Tuesday and he hurt to move my arm around. It’s only gotten a little better. I thought I would lift today, and see how it felt. I found it did not hurt at all to press.
I wanted two reps of 405, but they shut me down after one. It was a struggle and a second rep probably was not going to happen. Next week is max week.
" I must be getting old, because I hurt my left shoulder sleeping."
To dam funny.
I just with it wasn’t true.

It was pretty fast.

Today is my 48th birthday. My staff at work gave me a nice party. I came home and then headed to the gym with my daughter. We’ll have cake a little later.
