Deadlifts

475 x 8

ABCs: 50s x 16 in 5:05

Bar hit the gnarled tree root twice again despite moving the set-up forward to avoid that. Ended up pulling from a deadstop for the last 2 reps. Interesting that this was never a problem when deadlifting regularly in this spot but when pulling touch-and-go the bar moves in a path that hits it. Happy with this all things considered: I didn't lose any reps between pulling from 7 mats and the floor.

ABCs after deadlifts were a special kind of hell. I let myself off at 16. I'm looking at another week of lifting drink boxes (Gatorade, energy drinks) at work since our delivery driver is out for the week again and I'll be doing his deliveries to help out, so my back will be getting lots of work. I also have boxing later today. I haven't gone running in a long time, which is by design to let my foot heal, but the conditioning I've gotten from skipping rope and ABCs has helped ensure I don't get gassed at the gym.
