(BallPike)3x12 good

52mins

Started with 225#'s for dead lifts, then got 3 good sets at 275#'s.  This didn't feel too heavy so I added a 10# disk to each side. I did the math and realized I was at 295#'s, so I added a 2.5# on each side for an even 300#'s.  I wanted to get 3-4 reps with this weight, but only got 2. I think I could have done 2 more reps, but my grip was failing and I couldn't hold the weight.  Still a great RDL session.

Leg Press and SLDL were a superset with leg press feeling pretty good, so I added 2 plates for the last set.  135#'s was too light for SLDL so I added weight on the last set there as well.  I need to start with more than 135 from now on here.  My grip was pretty dead by the end of SLDL and became more problematic during shrugs.  Going to have to work on grip strenght (been saying that for a while though, and haven't done it yet).

The weighted crunch/swiss ball pike combo seems to be working well for abs.  Finished the WO with 2 sets of dips.  Good lower WO.  I wonder when my knees are going to be ready for squats again.  Until that time, I'll have to work on leg press.  Very happy with RDL today. Just wish my grip wasn't failing.  Next time I'm feeling energetic, I'll have to bump up the weight sooner.

Misc:
Went to the indoor shooting range with Gregg, Hayden, Eric, Griffin, Kane.  Shot the new Glock 22.  Liked it.
