41 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Felt pretty good. Just like last week with reverse band pulls, I got excited and went for a big increase with much the same result. Pretty much exactly the same as managed to get 5lbs PR after missing my more ambitious 15lbs PR. Wouldn't think 10lbs would be that big a deal at this weight range. Managed to get a 4lbs PR on the triple for a down set. I got to stick to the plan and stop going big and missing. I need to remember that my rotation cycle is much shorter. It takes a lot out of me, even if I am still able to get it together to hit a small PR afterwards. Either way, I know I'm getting stronger. I see a +650lbs deadlift falling this year. Pretty beat going in to rdls but still hit all the planned reps. Almost lost my grip on the last rep of the last set. Finished up with modified ghrs and a lot of stretching.
