50 minute yoga class

I had a massage this afternoon, so no training today other than yoga this morning. My hamstrings were really sore today from deadlifts last night (especially where they tie in around the knee), so she worked quite a bit on those. Everything is feeling pretty good though! Just have to keep it going.

Wasn’t much of a workout, but I atleast did some. I’m back in Regina today, and I just did this in my basement because I didn’t feel like attempting to drive without getting stuck. I’ll try to do some extra tricep stuff during tomorrows workout.

I was snowed in to Moose Jaw today, so was able to train here for this workout which was nice. Squats felt great tonight! It was like I suddenly remembered that I need to squat fast. I’d say that my set with 275/124.7 today was easier than my set of 5 with a belt with that weight on Saturday. It’s a good sign for sure.

Good workout tonight. After I had done two sets of front squats, my lower back adjusted weird to the side it felt like, so I was apprehensive to continue, but worked on it a bit, and figured it’d be alright to try. Feels a bit sore now, but nothing to worry about I don’t think.
