Wednesday: Run

PM:
44 min run (easy pace)

Daily Report:
Notes: Tweaked my back on my 400# deadlift fail yesterday. Looking back I was a little overzealous and am paying for it. Form was crap so I had it coming. Either way running helps to loosen it up so I plan on running tomorrow and then taking the weekend off to hunt geese in South Dakota. Might try to squeeze a run in Sunday night if I get back in time. On a side note I am thinking of switching my training to 2 x per week of strength training vs three. I will have the weekend to think about it while sitting in a dusty field shooting sky carp.

Notes: front squats were not as good as I planned. I had to do my set of 2 at 235# as I wasn't going to get heavier today. Depth was good. Failed at 185# on the push press so dropped to 165#. Have not done pullups in a while but the set of 20 was easy and all were full dead hang. This was my first time doing high rep sets of squats. Both sets of 25 went well.
