That didn’t feel like much.

But then, it stands to reason. This is session 3-B “Back, Heavy” — so, deadlift.

I haven’t (conventional) deadlifted since I think September, so I have no real idea where I was. I picked some reasonable numbers, plugged them into the Strong-15 percentage tables, and away I went. It didn’t feel like much, but week 1 of the cycle is quite light when you look at the numbers. Either way, a good way to break myself back into things.

Happy to be doing chin-ups again. I missed them.

Good mornings are a movement I’ve never liked. But I’ve been watching good technique videos on it, and figured I’ll go light, make sure I figure the movement out and really work to do it right. I’ll make something out of it!

Anyways, the past 2 weeks are a good start to things. My body is having some extreme DOMS from all of this, because it is a lot of and different work. The additional rest is good — I’m not feeling so worn out, tho I do have a little bit of “the crud” that’s going around right now so I am a little worn down from that. But all in all good.

On the weight front – down to 210. I am wondering if I’ll be 209 come Sunday, at the rate things are going. If so, I’m OK with that because that means moar food. 😉
