29 Minutes of Stretching

Comments:Good workout. I was a little anxious for this workout, especially with how squats went on Monday. Overhead with the log is always a fickle mistress. My legs weren't as springy as they usually are but luckily my triceps and shoulders brought their A game. Finally got 300 on the log, now I need to get it from the floor. I think 310 might have went up smoother than 300. A little peeved with not repping 280 but it's hard to be mad when I've pressed over 300lbs for the first time on the log. Triceps were experiencing soreness already at this point. I guess that's what happens when you don't press anything over 285lbs since December. Finally got all the reps with the log half presses, time to move on up in weight. Rows were great, felt good and I felt powerful. This is not how I usually feel on the first heavy week back from a contest. I'm hoping the sun melts the sheets of ice known as the streets by my house so I can do some yoke and farmers.
