Well I postponed my deadlift workout til today, so no “real” workouts.
But getting to what I did do~
Massage (finally, much needed one btw)
10 minutes of handstand practice
5 minutes of bridging
stretching
not really much worht mentioning but yea I got some Handstands in which felt like an achievement for me yesterday
That’s cool - how long can you hold them for? (For me it’s up and straight back down, unless I can park my feet against the wall. But I’ve not been doing them long). Practising handstands is bloody tiring so I reckon it counts as a workout, albeit a short one.
Well I am only holding it for about 15-20 seconds at a time. I actually start close to the wall that way i dont fall over. I am practing them on a concrete floor so I dont want to fall back over to badly…
It is always a good thing to get a short one handstand practice - some days that is all that can be done.

Had a bit more I was going to do but I had to go put cows away. It was a great workout, just cause my expectation were so low tbh. I am having some major tightness in my hammy’s, butt and hip flexor - so I was not expecting a lot. Glad to have got it in and enjoyed the heck out of myself. It wasn’t a tremendously spectacular or anything - somedays it feels like an achievement to just lift the bar 
Way to go on the GM, 120 for 6! I also see that you’re pushing the lunges, even though they’re not your favorite. Hope you can roll/stretch out that tightness.
Um yea Veg they are a tough thing for me, the lunges, I am working on stretching them out but it is brutal.

Okay that is all for this morning not much exciting here other than I got my workout in and done. It is a lighter volume week - so thus the deload-“ish” part.
yeah, good training as always. i admire your attitude about doing lunges till you learn to like em. thats the attitude i need for my squats. meatballs look delicious. what would ‘a good amount’ very roughly be (pinches? teaspoon? tablespoon or two?)
Tablespoons would be a good amount - at least 2 for my cooking of these if I were to guess at what I put into it.
I’m trying to adopt your attitude about liking the lifts you aren’t good at… Does it have to be genuine? lol.
Weighted pull-ups? And 30-lbs at that! Nice! That’s impressive! I have a hard enough time with just the pronated grip aspect…
Main-- I got caught up with your log, keep up the positive attitude no matter how hard it is & when you conquer that squatting you will LOVE LOVE love it
Lanel- thanks for dropping in, I have worked hard at my pullups to get them strong.

I’m already noticing that I really like certain things, to the detriment of developing other stuff. Good to be aware and rein that in. Looking at some of your past entries, you are soo strong with all the pull-ups. I’m inspired.
