29 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Feeling pretty beat at this point between the knee and the shoulder. Weight felt heavy in my hands so that is never a good sign, I just had to trust that my legs were strong enough. Had a little bit of a hiccup with 285lbs on the fourth rep. I got mad at 305lbs as it should have been a solid five reps instead of a sloppy five. Just misgrooved the fifth rep and missed it. I thought about going again but my shoulders were saying no. I racked it shook them out, took a deep breath and threw it up there. Went on to the chest supports with the axle for punishment. Kept the weight the same at 405lbs. Same thing as last time with my slow 30 second counts. Really feeling it in the core and worked extra hard to keep it tight and keep my lower back happy. Wonky shoulder did not help with the band pushups. I thought I had hit 16 solid lifts but really it looks like only 15. Out of practice on these perhaps or too tired from everything else. Felt good to stretch though.
