03/08/08, Back Day
I was tired today, but I felt better after my workout was over. Anyone else experience this? I’m sure you do. You go into the workout feeling like a slug, not knowing if you have the energy to start, and leave the workout feeling 100% better.
I had to work this morning. This is the first time I worked on Saturday in two years, and my body wanted to smash the alarm clock.
FYI, I work deadlifts with lower reps per sets for a couple of reasons. First, simply doing a handful of heavy deadlifts (75% of 1RPM or more) is enough to cause back soreness the next day. Second, when doing heavy deads my calluses feel like they are being ripped from my hands after 2 reps. I really don’t have a problem holding the bar; the problem is more pain than grip strength.
