The crawling was a little easier today. Get Ups felt better too. I thought I had started my sets too light. But 185 was a challenge, 205 was really tough I tried 225 for my seventh set but no go so I dropped it back down to 205 and got 5. It was a struggle! My hamstrings and glutes are fried. I'm glad I didn't push to get the 225.

My warm up took 14:31. Weights took 37:16. I tried to keep my rest between sets of deadlifts at two minutes but it got longer during the last 3 or so sets. Also, my 16 year old son worked out with me. He's stronger than I am! But of course I'm hampered by my bum left hip. As for the title of this post I know I had some good dead lift form because I scraped my shin with the barbell! Tomorrow will either be a day off or bent over rows.
