I came home from work Friday night to find the apartment decorated for my birthday and Lily baking me a birthday cake. She was preparing a carrot cake from scratch...my favorite cake. She really overwhelmed me and I was taken back by this. She continuously outdoes herself and exceeds my expectations, this is not easy to do, and I am very grateful for the relationship we share.
We headed to EliteFTS a little late on Saturday morning. A special prepared breakfast was worth being a little slow getting there. Todd wasn't feeling well, the boys were doing holiday things and weren't going to be there anyway. Training broke down like this...
Warm-ups
Hip rotations, Indian club swings
Squats - 1-1/2" high box - straight bar
Worked up doing sets of 3 to 315
put on Metal Pro Briefs
405 for 3 reps
505 for 4 sets of 3 reps
Deadlifts - raw straight weight from 2" mats
worked up doing sets of 5 to 335 for 3 sets of 5 reps
Hypers against Pro Light Band
3 sets of 20 paused reps
Things felt good today and the weights moved well. My hips were a little tight for the pulls put loosened up after a few sets. I have eliminated the shifting in my squat and today is 17 weeks out from my next meet.
