My deadlifts are very much my weakest point. I have been working my upper and lower back more, since I have a nasty tendency to round my back when the weights get heavy. Everything still feels heavy and horrible. I wish I was seeing the kind of improvement I have been seeing with my squat.

Finished this workout by running the long way home, through the university campus. That sucked. This workout was a bit of a shake-up to liven up my routine and incorporate more dynamic movements into my training. And, again, it sucked.

Legs felt underpowered this week. Everything felt off, and my strength just didn’t seem to be there. All in all, not an inspiring week.
Not much of a high note to end on, I’m afraid. Think I’m getting sick. That’s all for now.
Cheers,
The Bear.
