37 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Didn't feel too bad considering the workout the day before. At least until I got around to weighing my new stone (ended up being 494lbs). My biceps just cramped right the hell up just rolling that thing. Luckily I wasn't doing anything that would need my arms for lifting today so I went as planned. Used the next level of band tension (285lbs) and that was a trip haha. My lower back and hips were beat to hell yesterday so I wasn't expecting anything out of the hip thrusts. I guess my lower back was more fatigued than hips since I got all the reps (slight readjustment for the last rep with 595lbs). Belt squats were tough, felt like my quads were keeping lightining contained and any moment would shoot bolts. Didn't realize it was that big of a jump from the last time. Got 11 on the last set, sat down, got mad and took a breath and got one more rep. Unfortunately as I was unloading the loading pin and putting weights away, a 75lbs plate landed on my right foot. That smarted but nothing is broken, just a little swollen and bruised. I was a bit worried when I saw some blood leaking through my sock but it was only a little spot. Should be fine in a few days.
