I have been struggling all week being sick. In bed the first three days. Last night I tried to workout and only could make it about 15 minutes and had to quit.
I also have been seeing a sports chiro trying to treat a badly pulled hip flexor that has been nagging me for 2 weeks.
I felt good today and just wanted to get out of the house and do a light workout. I figured it would be a good active recovery session. As I worked out and stretched, I felt better and better. My body just seemed to align under each lift....and I was in the goove. My plans for staying 'light' began to fall away as the plates were added. Each lift feeling very comfortable.
It went like this:
135x10
135x10
225x5
315x8
405x2
495x1
545x1
AND I said "screw it" and loaded up 6 plates.
585x1
I got it....and it felt really good
I got a little excited as you can see. I also sat there and held it for a while thinking of all the people that used to bust my balls saying my lifts were not real because I used straps.
OK guys here it is.....
Form was a little sloppy. My hips rose too fast (which is my usual problem) The bar drifted forward....but I was not dropping it. I just muscled it all with back.
Onward and upward from here guys! Going to start training for some power. Correct some of my form issues and see what I can really do.
