30 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Trained at Jenkins' place today. Quite sore and beat going into this workout. Lots of bruising from the axle supports and my chest and back where tight from benching and rows. Left ankle was also sore. Front squats never felt good. Even the barbell made whatever is going on with my upper back/rib act up so I had to grit my teeth and get used to it for the rest of the workout. I haven’t been doing them butt to ankles since I tore my oblique last year. Just sticking with high boxes and straps to hold the bar. These were tough but it is a starting point. Legs were pretty sore from them. Upper back thing was still bugging me on deadlifts. I dropped some of the singles from the top as bending over and having the shock of the weight hitting the ground while I held it was aggravating my upper back. Just had to get mad and make the feeling go away for the all-out set. My goal was at least six and I got that so I gutted out two more reps. Felt surprisingly good. Stretched and called it a day.
