High reps again

Normally, I don't like high rep workouts.  Today's lift called for 2 sets of 15 reps.  I often dread these. However, today something clicked and it was fine.  I even enjoyed the feel of the speedy deadlifts.  They felt strong.  I remembered this time to wear longer pants and my long socks for the deadlifts.  Even with loads of Eco Ball on my legs, bare-legged deadlifts are not a good idea.  It only takes a slight rub with the bar and I've got bar burn on my legs.  It's not the knurled part that hits my legs, it's the smooth, shiny part.  It sticks and pulls my skin with it.

 I had to take a couple mini-rests in the middle of some of the reps, but overall, it went very well.  I almost talked myself out of lifting this morning, since I didn't sleep very well last night.  With only two sets, it was slightly on the short side of the FBB workouts rather than the long side.  6 workouts left in FBB!
