Comments: Wasn't even sure if I wanted to do anything today. Tired, and incredibly sore still from squat day. Got to get back into doing the events with regularity with Spring coming up. Did the speed runs on yoke again. I like them and I learned from last time. All sets were uphill and I took plate jumps until I got to over 500lbs. Actually did markedly better on the light weights warming up then I did the first time back in November. Car deadlifts was interesting. I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep it as part of my deadlift day or what. Decided to try out some singles and when I got to a good weight, hit as many as I can without killing myself. I got nine with the work weight in one clip and then got two more before calling it. Did stones too. Plan was to see how I was feeling and see if I can hit a decent stone. 385lbs went up too easy to call it a day so I tried the 420lbs stone. No dice but it was a lot better than last time. Couldn't even lap it then. Getting back to form, even though I was fatigued from pulls and squats this week. It's coming back, just not there yet.
