My 4yo was home sick from school, so I did this instead of deadlifts to try to avoid disturbing his nap (garage gym right beneath his bedroom; squats much quieter than deadlifts). Of course, by the afternoon he’s perky and fine and bouncing off the walls and apparently had no need for a nap, so I probably could have just deadlifted anyway. Ah well. Hoping to deadlift tomorrow instead.

This felt pretty darn good. Called it a day after the heavy pull, had already done a bunch of yard work and gone on a hike with the kids. But it felt good to get five wheels on each side and own it.
