Sunday morning, up with the sun.

Deadlift: 333 (?!) x 10 x 2. Double overhand on both sets, just because. Hands are tired.
Bench TNG: 345x2x7 is what was called for. I did six sets, with 4 and 2 because I was bored.

CGBP 328x2x7. F that. I did three sets of 5 5 4.

I have been extremely busy with coaching and teaching, which is a wonderful problem to have, but I want to head for the hills and spend a day by myself. Alas. Part of the problem is that my 14 year old daughter is now training (135lb squats!) which is wonderful, but means that my fortress of solitude has another resident.
