September 25, 2011 - DE UB

Yet another Saturday where I've done literally nothing. While relaxing, I need to get out of that habit. Certainly helping with recovering faster and lets me deload a bit. With no contests in sight for about five months, I'm not too worried. It was suggested that I go back to doubles on DE squats. I might, going to see how my ME session goes this week.

35 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: I had downed about 1300 calories in shakes before lifting so I wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea of lifting haha. Axle stuff went much better than last week, no slippage this time. I didn't feel as strong going into swiss bar incline but I managed to improve. Upper back stuff was also better than last time (other than a magnet weight escaping mid set). Did a little lawn mowing before stretching. Doesn't make up for doing nothing yesterday but it did get a bit of blood flowing in my lower back.
