I already want to punch 2016 in the dick.
Deadifting and I have had a love hate relationship over the years. I love in competition and hate training it.
A couple weeks ago I missed 415 which fucked with my head pretty good for a while. Today was the first time Deadlifting since then.
I was working with Brenda and Heather, who are also using the #5thSet training templates.
135 x 5
155 x 3
185 x 3
205 x 3
230 x 3
230 x 3
320 x 2
365 x 3
405 x 2 x 4. Using the deadlift bar at Barnyard barbell is amazing
405 x 15. Heather got 12 on her AMRAP set, so I knew I had to get more than her. And 405 for 15 is better than missing 415. Just putting that out there
Chin ups. I did about 5 sets of 4-5 reps neutral grip. I was doing these between reps of Wade and Brett squatting. That is why I'm not sure the sets.
Brett finally got into his brand new squat suit for the first time!!!
This is where the fun stopped for me.
When Odin and I got back to the Jeep, there was a message from his amazing daycare lady. She is from Lebanon and pretty much the Lebanese version of my mom.
Fatima's nephew was beaten to death in Toronto because what the police are calling a robbery. It was in a well traveled area with at a busy time of day. Police reports say it looks like he knew the assailants as there was no defensive wounds. That's fucked up and shouldn't be happening in Canada.
Fatima will be with family from across the world this week mourning her nephew's death.
I lucked out and my mom is off work Monday and Tuesday and could take Odin as Shannon is also gone to Texas on her firefighter course. I will be taking Wednesday-Friday off for the Little man.
Not a good start 2016. I will be keeping my eye on you.
