Good workout today. First day without a PR in a while but I can already feel it in my legs. Squats felt like they hit my hammies really hard. Didn't feel it too much in the quads. We will see if the DOMS come to visit over night.

That will be a big day for me. Maybe a few more months. If only it translated to Barbell Bench...

Good workout today. I was so close to a 405 deadlift that I could taste it! I just couldn't lock it out at the top because the bar slipped out of my hand! I was so mad because grip kept me from getting a PR I have wanted for a long time and knew I was capable of going in. Besides that, this was a good workout.

Weight is at 191.

4 laps around the track. Running.
Going to work my way up for the running. I'm not a runner, never have been. But I want to train myself to become one. My goal my the summer is a 12.5 minute 1.5 miles. If that makes since.

Notes
Good way to start the week in the gym today. Got 2 PR's! The 115 X 5 set was pretty killer and I had to give it everything I had to get that 5th rep. Like I said, I have made a new goal and it is to improve my distance running ability. My calves were burning after the short distance I ran today.
