Deadlifts just didn’t feel right today, so I did the minimum and walked away. Otherwise, I was happy with the workout. I’m visiting family this weekend, so I don’t expect to lift again until Tuesday.
The gym is closed this weekend. I should have expected it, but I didn’t. To fill the void, I decided to try a workout I’ve always wanted to do. So, we took my fiance’s Cruze out to a parking lot, and I pushed it around a bit. It was grueling and a lot of fun. I may have to think on how to incorporate this sort of thing into my regular lifting schedule.

I haven’t been sleeping well this week, with 3 or 4 nights of <5 hours of sleep. My strength–especially my grip–has suffered accordingly: I pulled a third rep on my top set, but I couldn’t lock it out. I’ll take a deload next week, and I hope to come back fresh for the next cycle.
