Snow Day in March

It's another snow day here, just kind of hanging out and being extra lazy. My stomach was off yesterday and last night I had a nasty bout with some indigestion. Yay for shot glasses full of vinegar? This morning I am very tired.. and sore from this week's workouts!

Monday began with leg day. And a sight for sore eyes...

45 lb plates. On that bar. Finally! 135 lb squats 5 sets of 5. No, it's not really alot of weight to most people, but I have only been squatting heavy for about a month now. Less than that really, I alternate with deadlifts so I squat every other week. My next goal is to get 135 deadlifts - these have been trickier for me but I think I can get it in the next 1-2 tries.

I also did single leg Romanian deadlifts on Monday. It's been a little bit since I did these and my hamstrings are still pissed beyond belief.

I got my 3 mile run in at the gym on Tuesday, tried to go outside but it was still too icy.

Yesterday was back day. Lately I have not been feeling challeneged enough on back day, so I've resolved myself to work harder on pull ups. Did 10 sets of 3 with the band, plus 3 negatives. Also added various rows and back extensions to the mix. Some "bro" who appeared to be muscular/in good shape, clad in a backwards cap and a tshirt that had the word "swag" on it was on the cable curl acting ridiculous, grunting like he was lifting a thousand pounds but he was only lifting 15. Seriously dude? That instantly became my bicep exercise for the day. I can curl 25 lbs quietly. What the hell man?
Also got my wide grip lat pulldown on at 70 lbs. I'm feeling it in my back today!

Maybe it's good I am snowed in today. Between soreness and yesterday's upset stomach my body could really use a rest day. Hopefully I can get out of my driveway tomorrow to double it up with my chest workout and a run.
