Deadlift -Had a massage yesterday to help deal with my hamstring pull. I'm lucky to live in an area with all kinds of fitness people so we have some really excellent RMT's and PT's - She gave me some what I consider good advice to do deadlifts today at about half of what I would normally lift, see how that felt and go up from there in subsequent workouts. Stop at of 2 out of 10 pain, Ice afterwards (sitting on an ice pack as I type this)

Did curls and planks too.
I didn't push the exercises too hard today - could feel some minor pain in hamstring but nothing to stop the workout. Hopefully it continues to heal thrugh the weekend in time for squats Monday. No heavy singles for squats on Monday; will probably do some triples with a couple reps in the tank just to be on the safe side.

Hamstring feels mostly healed now. everything feels good (knock on wood)
