Smoked my previous deadlift one rep max with my new-and-improved grip (sort of a narrow, conventional grip). My deadlifting mojo is back!
Got a run in store for tonight - shooting for fewer, longer intervals, as I work my way up to...

10 x 135# deadlifts x 2
10 x 145# deadlifts
10 x 60# overhead squats x 3
I had planned on going for a run or at least a brisk walk with the dogs last night but that never happened. Lazy days are good, too. :)
Tweeked my deadlifting form and it felt GREAT. I’m back to conventional deadlifting with a relatively narrower grip than I have tried in the past but it feels very good. I might...

5 supersets:
front squats - 6 x 95#
dumbbell overhead presses - 6 x 25# ea. arm
1/2 mi. run
planks:
1 x 1:00
2 x 0:30
5 min. of stretching
The soreness in my right bicep has reappeared, triggered, I can only guess, by the pull-ups I did Tuesday. Or maybe, just possibly, by my deadlifts on Wednesday. Strange. It seems to heal and then flares up unexpectedly.
Clearly,...

deadlifts:
3 x 155# (conventional)
3 x 165# (conventional)
3 x 170# (sumo)
3 x 170# (conventional - grip was really starting to fail)
3 x 175# (conventional - with straps)
I’ve been doing sumo-style deadlifts for a while and never gotten quite comfortable with them, so I decided - since I had no plans of going for a 1-rep max today, to revisit the conventional deadlift. For whatever...

8 rounds {
2 pull-ups
2 weighted bench dips (+25#)
4 decline push-ups w/ feet elevated about 1.5 meters!
8 kettlebell swings with 35#
}
In hindsight, my pace was pretty slack this morning but, oh well, I got it done. My arms feel a little bit beat up from (relative) high volume pull-up stuff over the weekend, so hopefully they aren’t wrecked tomorrow. :) I’m realizing I need to...

Consistency is key.
A moderate amount of effort on a daily basis is what gets you results. Too much, too quickly and your motivation will flag.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Never hurts to remind yourself of that. :)
