Week 7 - Day 20B

Pretty good workout.  I didn't feel groggy leaving the gym.  Squats were awesome, no pain in the lower back.  Squat walkouts are considerably easier, I think my upper back has gotten quite a bit stronger from all the pulling and squeezing from all the lifts.

Triceps were burning like hell after the 3rd set of presses and I'm only at 67.5 lbs!  I used my fractional plates and I got a few smirks from the guys around me.

Deadlifts were pretty heavy.  I made sure that I rested plenty for the workset.  I warmed up properly and didn't use any chalk or alternate my grip.  One of the gym staff members was walking around so I couldn't use my chalk.  For $99 a month, you'd think I'd at least get to use chalk.
