Wow I cant believe its August already...time is flying by. Anyways todays workout went better then Mondays, but it was def a challenge. The squats were pretty tough at that weight and I might just stay at 230 for Friday to build my strength up on those. I barely finished the OH Presses. They were brutal at 130 and I know that Im going to be stuck on that weight for next week. I made certain to keep extremely strict form on my deadlifts today so I would avoid hurting my back again. I really concentrated on using my legs to push the weight up instead of using so much back like I did when I injured it. The weight went up slowly but I got all five reps in so I was happy...and my back feels fine so I guess my form worked!
On a side note I did the light cardio prior to lifting to kinda loosen myself up. I didnt do the stretches before like last workout and everything felt fine.
