My biceps

Today was another day with a crazy amount of deadlifts.  Scary going in, but very satisfying when I'm done.  I didn't warm up with deadlifts this time, so only 80 of them :)  I actually increased several of my weights.  That surprised me, especially the DB bench presses.  This workout is a grip killer.  By the end of the hanging leg raises, my hands are sore and red.

When I got to the gym, one person was there, upstairs, making a lot of really loud noise.  I figured he was using the punching bags, but it was louder than I had heard before.  I got a little spooked and actually went back to my car.  As I was about to drive away, he came downstairs to the weight room.  Didn't look scary, so I turned off the car and went back in.  I'm glad I did, because I had a great workout!  I think it was louder because the bags are on the floor right above the entryway.  Maybe he was kickboxing or something like that to make it loud.

I just wanted to post a pic today.  I'm flexing!  No biceps curls or triceps kickbacks.


And now for the workout...
