38 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Stress from the day before and allergies coming back lead to a bit of a cold for me. I drank about 2.5 gallons of water. I was quite relieved to go to the gym. I took things kind of slow and made it a point to talk a lot between sets and joke around. I figured it would help me calm myself and reduce stress levels. Middle back thingy is better but still there. Box squatting went better than last time as my lower back wasn't acting up much. I forgot I was doing fives this week on split squats and had started doing threes. 255lbs wasn't too bad so I figured I'd try 285lbs a bit tougher but got it. Big PR on this for me. I think my legs are stronger now then they were before I was injured. GM's were easy on pretty much every weight. Just kept going up and up with super strict form. Called it at 215lbs, can always try for more next time. Slapped on 90lbs for leg curls and they were a bit tougher than last time but still got the reps. Finished up with stretching.
