What a difference a week makes!

Last week I was riding high on heavy deadlifts.  But, today, when I approached the bar, I could tell it wasn't going to go as well.  Also, I was going to have to do 5 sets instead of 4, so going up more was really going to be a challenge, even if I felt fine, which I didn't.  I wonder if the hilly run from yesterday effected today's deadlifts.  At least I was still above bodyweight!  But, even though the deadlifts weren't up to snuff, other exercises did get better.  I was able to hold side planks, unlike the last two weeks, and I was able to increase some weights elsewhere.  Interestingly, it is hardest for me to hold the side bridge on my right side.  I would have thought it would be the other way around.
