What a weird day back in the gym. I'm still recovering from being sick, so I expected that. I'm back to training for real on Saturday. But I decided to do my regularly-scheduled Day 3 just to feel out some weights.
My squats got ugly. They actually got ugly as soon as I put a belt on. It's as if the belt's width prevents me from dropping my hips between my thighs correctly. So, screw it - I'm not lifting enough weight to worry about, so I'll lift without a belt for awhile and see what happens.
This was my first time deadlifting in about two months, and my first time in Do-Wins. My warm-ups were damn near explosive and felt great. Then I pulled 365x1 as a last warm-up, double-overhand. That's by far a PR for that grip. It's good to know my grip has actually improved! But I expected 405 to be a piece of cake for 3-5, and I got it once. I have no idea what happened. Oh, well, now I know to use 365 or something next week, and just accept that this may move up faster. It'll be a process.
