Just the skinny: slow 5K walk (19:16 pace..not a misprint)..outside (also not a misprint. Yes, my glutes are sore but it is bilateral ..slightly more soreness on the left (problem) side but I wouldn’t have noticed had it not been such an ongoing problem.
More PT and things tomorrow. The walk was mostly on campus with a mask and my classes kept fogging up. Temperature was just under freezing.
The deadlifts:
10 x 134 warm up (felt..uh-oh…)
10 x 184
3 x 224
Then: 5 sets of 3 x 255 ..the most no. of reps I’ve had with this weight, and they weren’t that bad. 3-5 min recoveries. (low handles)
3 x 279 high handle (harder than expected)
1 x 301 (sucked it up; I spent close to a minute convincing myself I wanted to do this..and edited this part out of the video.
