Downpour

5 x RDL @ 45,115,115,115

Me and the doc spent so much time box squatting that our hour at the gym was almost up. So we crammed what we could into a short circuit to hit some high points.

I'm thinking Doc and I might probably get some deadlift time in tomorrow morning. We'll back off from last week's heavy session with higher volume sets for a couple of weeks. Then I think I'll have her take a crack at JB's "big wheels" in maybe 3 weeks.

When we put the yellow plates on, I'm going to bring the camera and take a video so you fellas can see the powerlifting sensation that's sweeping the nation.

On Bike

Cold and windy 140' ride. Left at 6:00PM. Returned after dark. Had lights. Still almost got smoked by a car who whipped around a turn too fast.

Thank god for the sprint legs or I'd be building a new rear wheel and/or nursing a broken femur.

Then I ate dinner, had some wine, and rescued Dr. 1% from the Madison Metro Bus system. Par for the course on a Wednesday, really.
