24 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Super deload sessions this week. I say because I was told I had to use up my personal days this week or lost them so no work for most of this week. Spent yesterday weeding the garden and going for a walk on top of watching shows and reading books. Tried on my deadlift suit this morning just to make sure it still fit. If anything, I’m thinner from when I last used it. Hips are still achy and hamstrings are still tight. Some upper back soreness but I think that was more to do with yard work than actually recovering. I’ll be doing more of it tomorrow. Low key on this workout and I think I did a much better job this time with push presses. Just felt a little heavy on my shoulders but the weight went up well. Bench felt heavy on my wrists and I’ve come to accept that with this closer grip style. JM work was quite easy after that. Had to improvise the pull-ups as both stations were in use. I made it work. Little bit of stretching to finish it up.
