Still working through light weights to wake the body up, but feeling great to be back out there. 

Also, Ian came out to the garage while I was out there and decided he wanted to deadlift the bar. We set it on a couple plates to get a little foot clearance, then walked through his form. My little man picked up the bar like it was nothing. He wanted to add weight after the 4th lift, but I told him his form has to be perfect before we start adding anything.

Definitely a proud daddy moment for me.

Not a bad training session, was just happy to get back to it. Life hasn’t really permitted the time for training for almost 2 weeks and it was getting to me to be honest (I get cranky when I don’t lift for too many days in a row). Did notice the weight belt seemed a bit snug this evening, haha.

Pleased with my progress of hitting 415 for 8 reps and feel like I’m back on track with my deadlifts. Felt great to sleep in then lift in the morning; and Dawn made ebelskivers for breakfast. A great start to my weekend.

Overall, not bad; I wanted more than 2 reps but not going to beat myself up over it. Should have had at least 3, but I think it was more mental than anything.

Ever have those days when things are just heavy (and they shouldn’t be) and you just don’t feel right. Yep.
