It's been brutally cold here and just too nasty to train in my garage. It's -12 this morning.
The high tomorrow is supposed to be 34, so hopefully I can do some Deadlifts again.

Well right now it's 28°F, we had the first snow in 700 days last night. About 3 inches here in Long Island.
As far as the work, I'm tying my best, I'm not sure what I'll try next time on the sqts, maybe 3sets of 5 reps at the same weight. The DL was no reps in reserve, that was it . I'll keep the weight the same and try fo 5
I didn't have steak, pork chops, roasted potatoes; broccoli and salad for dinner! Stay warm.

Wow, that must have been a surprise, hope you dont have the plumbing outside the house like they used to in Britain.

It wasn't really a surprise. We usually have a few bouts with snow every winter here where I am in NY. We do get a few cold snaps down to single digits occasionally.

I was going to do some belt sqts as a "finisher" today, but I was finished as they say!
I'm trying to sort of follow the rep progession as written on page 230 in the Barbell Prescription. I may try doing the light sqt on the next wo day . I had been doing BP and press on my second day but maybe to much for me.

You're getting some good workouts in Jerry!

[Mr. Bingley]

good stuff jerry! It's cold again in the garage...

[BrooklynJerry]

It wasn't so cold as it was damp do to all the rain we've had. I ran my heater for a while to help dry things up. The bar and plates were a little slippery.
