Wow! The dead lift was really tough! Squats really wiped the legs out, too.

Basketball in the driveway, 1 on 1 with my daughter. She won, 5 to 2, but it was fun.

Stretch: seated straddle, left and right, butterfly.

I decided to add the power cleans to the routine. It fits the other types of lifts (compound, barbell exercises), and I've always like it. Starting light to work technique.

Squats: warmup: 45x5x2, 115x5, 135x5, 160x4, 180x2; work: 255x5x5

Overhead press: warmup: 45x5x2, 65x3, 75x2; work: 105x5x5

Dead lift: warmup: 115x5, 135x5, 155x3, 175x2; work: 265x5

Stretch: front and side swing kicks, toe touches, standing straddle, left and right.

The work set of dead lifts was hard to hold on to. I did some reading, and I am going to switch to a mixed grip on the work set from now on, to see how that changes things. I could lift the weight, it was just hard to hold.

7/3/2011

Stretched out the hip flexors today. I don't get sore from squats anymore, but my legs do get a bit tight.
