Deadlift

Trying out the Titan deadlift slippers for the first time. They remind me of Kung Fu shoes I used to have when I was a kid.

Also, lower back doesn't 100% - still aching a bit.

  • 227.5lbs: 3
  • 317.5lbs: 2
  • 407.5lbs: 1

Barbell Hip Thrust

This makes my lower back feels better for some reason. Glute hypertrophy will probably end up ripping more jeans though.

  • 137.5lbs: 10
  • 147.5lbs: 8,10

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
