Still soooore!

Those eccentric chin-ups Tuesday really did their thing. I am still sore today. I don't know if that is the cause or not, but I just wasn't as "with it" during my workout today. As usual, that leads to a little less focus and a little more time spent. I did leave off the deadlifts (extra strength), even though I love deadlifts. I just know how long it takes to do four sets of good quality deadlifts. I'd rather take my time with them than rush them, especially since that could lead to injury! I don't need that. My SI joint would thank me if it could talk, I'm sure.

Given the sore arms and upper body, I couldn't even do a chin up with the band. So, I did them with my feet on the ground for assistance, making sure my torso stayed vertical. Still a great workout. I'm still really liking this program.
