I was a dummy on Thursday. I had zero desire to lift. I did this until I made a deal with myself.

  • Deadlift: 225x5/265x5
  • Bench FSL: 3x8@185
  • T-Bar: 3x10
With warm-ups and all that stuff I just wasn't feeling it. 295 was my last set of deadlift. I decided that if I did 295x20 I could be done. So, I did it. Nearly killed me. But, I earned the right to be done training. About 60 minutes later I had to demonstrate a Stability Ball Leg Curl. Rep 2 caused a very nice double hamstring cramp. Needless to say, the 6 hour bus trip the next day was uncomfortable.
