22 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Decent workout took about 55 minutes. The 405 actually went up quite fast today. Speed was excellent on deadlifts but the first set with 250 was very tough at lockout. Squats were much better this time and I managed to gut out all eight reps with 325. I did a bit more than I was planning on Bavarian lifts since I had an extra 25lbs plate on it and I didn't feel like taking it back off the loading pin. I feel I'm now using a good, challenging weight for this exercise now. Farmer's side bends are still going strong.
