Deadlift progress

Yesterday: deadlifts, a bit of rehab and 31 minutes on the bike. Perhaps longer today? I should walk SOME just to practice.

Deadlifts: 10 x 134, 10 x 184, 10 x 224 warm up (low)

moved to my bigger bar; 2 sets of 3 x 260 seemed too easy 3 x 262 on my smaller bar (to check), back to the bigger one: 2 sets of 3 x 270 (all sets done every 3 minutes)

Then 1 try at 300 low handles: got it; challenging but not all that hard. I talked myself out of trying a second rep (“don’t hurt yourself”)

Then 5 x 274 at 4 inch handles to finish (felt ok)

Note: glute tingles still there off and on… shoulder: mild ache every so often.

Update: winding 3 mile walk mostly on campus; 15:30 pace, with stretch stops at .6, 1.3, 2, 2.6. I tried to avoid pain; it was a bit whiny at the start. Did some rehab and some bike (2 miles) with stretching first.

I did have a misfire on 274 when I forgot to take off an 11 lb. plate on one side.
