Yeah, this is going to be another fun day. 🙂

Yeah… squats then deadlifting is going to be fuuuun. 🙂

Squats went well. I had to do 230# today and gee, it wasn’t long ago I was struggling to deal with 230. Now it’s just another work weight. Cool!

Deadlifting… best I can say here is I MUST remember to really stay strict. It’s easy to let your back and form get out of whack on those last reps of those last sets. Have to remain vigilant.

Bumping up the leg raises. Even tho my reps don’t show it, every time I do these I get better. Stricter form, more complete motions. Everything. I don’t care that much that my reps don’t show it if I can see progress in how everything gets better and stronger. All good. Plus my shoulder isn’t complaining as much since I have a better “ritual” in getting on the bar. Huzzah!

I’m liking the BBB 3 month challenge so far… but I’ve only just begun.
