Much better day at the gym today then on Friday! My legs were feeling stronger under my squats and I was able to continue with the deadlifts without any hinderance. Over head press felt like it benefited from the long rest, which makes sense that my upper body recovered even though my legs were suffering. Pullups still are my least favorite thing to do at the end of the workout, I can never seem to get passed 5 straight and am fully exhausted, but thats the reason I do them I guess. All in all a good day.

Fuck me Monday morning deadlifts are tough. So this is the first time I've ever missed a set of deadlifts. I got three ok, but the fourth wasn't happening, even after taking a minute and with Mike yelling at me. I read the first half of "Education of a Bodybuilder", and part of the exercise routine chapters. I'm going to start taking Arnold's advice and doing more warmup with pushups, single leg squats and sit-ups.

I got 10 hours of sleep last night and I think that it really helped my strength at the gym today, all my muscles felt fresh and ready to go.

I got into using a foam roller last year and I think it really makes a difference. Yes, it looks like you're humping the floor at the gym; but I just realized I don't give a fuck.
