A good day

Digging the mornings thing. Going to stick with it, methinks.

I saw a bunch of coworkers that I hadn't seen in awhile today. They said they hardly recognized me. One of them said it was because I was smiling.

My hips were less than happy with me when I started, but I was getting good depth and could even sit in the hole for a second by the end of the session.

I've been foam rolling and stretching 4 - 5 times per week, 10 - 20 minutes per session. Hopefully I start moving better soon.

Theoretical 1RM's for the week

Military Press = 93#
Deadlift = 285#
Bench Press = 197#
Front Squat = 162#

No surprises there except for the Front squat is better than I would have thought it'd be if you'd have asked me two months ago when I'd have told you that there was no way I could do a front squat.
