30 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Really wanted to sleep more but can’t sleep the day away. Went lifting at IronMill. Started off with front squats and these were fast and easy. I did 310x8 after multiple sets the day before my injury so it makes sense these would be a piece of cake. Deadlift was not a piece of cake. I did something to my left ring finger loading up the bar and it bruised and swelled under the first digit. Hurt to hold on the deadlifts without straps. With how 475lbs felt, I felt I could complete the task at hand but no dice. Every rep was a slow grind and I couldn’t get past mid-shin on the fifth rep. Short rests got me here. I really hate when I miss a deadlift but I needed to shoulder that hurt for later as I was just getting started. Went right into snatch grip pulls as I should be ready after the platform pulls. These were horrible too and I was so glad to finish the three sets with no injuries or missed reps. On the head supported rows, it was to be swiss bar but just went with the tiny log rather than drive to the Y and disrupt the workout. I accidentally added 20lbs on the first set. After that was light event training. I was going to go a bit heavier but with how craptastic my warm-up set felt, I swallowed my pride and did what felt nice and doable. Did weird curls and easy abs to finish up the day. This was a long session.
