Spent Sat and Sun moving and spreading 22 cubic yards of mulch. 6-7 hours Saturday, 5 hours Sunday. Back and arms were dead Sunday afternoon. Had a great weekend with Sarah and Taryn, hope Sarah had a good Mother's day.  I think she did.

So given the weekend work, we skipped the WO on Sunday and I didn't have high expectations for today's workout. I wasn't planning on deadlifting at all given all the shovelling and hauling a wheelbarrow around all weekend. As I warmed up on pin bench I put 135 on the bar for deadlift and did 1 rep. Wow, felt that in my back. Decided not to do any more.  As I continued to warm up on bench, I gave 135 another shot and 8 reps felt good. I added 20# and another set felt good. I ended up doing 3 "top" sets at 185. Very light, but it felt good to get some movement in my back and blood flow will probably help. Happy that I stuck with it.

Pin bench was 8 reps @RPE 7,8,9 -5% +2x8.  I didn't know what to expect here, but I felt surprisingly good and worked up higher than last week. Pleased with this. For DB shoulder press, I didn't do the top set of 70% AMRAP because my left pec/shoulder is still bothering me. So I warmed up 1 set, then did the 3x12 reps.  Solid WO considering expectations.

Nutrition/Weight:

183.4 this morning.
