This time it was lifting. Lifting is nicer in the evening, running is nicer in the morning. Hmmm....
Well, it was a good lift. I had just spent 2 hours in front of the computer doing some financial stuff, so my eyes were buggy and I needed a change of pace. Lifting was a good answer!
Today was a 5x5 routine. Tough and heavy! I really got some good gains in, though. I'm deadlifting well over my weight now. Woo hoo!
Again, I put so much into the squats and deadlifts, that I can't load up the BSS and step-ups all that much. Last time the 5x5 came around, I tried to, but had to stop at 3 sets.
I was wearing shorts, so I made liberal use of the Eco-Ball on my legs so I didn't tear them up too badly during the deadlifts. I still hurt the skin a tad (like a mild rug burn) but not too bad. I really should wear pants for these. With this kind of weight, I realize I can't even attempt to hold the bar out a bit. Also, I wish I would have not used the Lynx grips on the last set. During the last rep, the one in the right hand shifted a bit because I was having issues with keeping a hold on the Lynx grip.
