Restarting strength

Nice weather here in the Northeast today. 62 degrees in February? Unheard of. I needed to get outside and run. I think I got the running bug again. So what better time than today to do the dreaded deadlift 400m wod. It really wasn't that bad. Maybe I was just in the right mood for it today. Or it could have been the awesome leftover flat iron steak and potatoes for breakfast. Good fuel for me today.

Restarting the strength bias program to work on my sets of 5. Bob said it's a good idea to change it up around week 7. So with that, I did 5 reps of my heavy back squats yesterday. Yeah, thats not what I was supposed to do. Little did I know I was supposed to recalculate 65% of my 1RM and start from there with sets of 5. Ooops. But, I was able to do 5@160 which is 10 less than my current 1RM. Hopefully that means my 1RM will improve by at least 10 next time I test. Deadlifts felt fine today. Got thru the 15-12-9 relatively well. I did run 400m between the sets so there was a little gasping for air but still felt good. Finally feel like I'm getting over the hump I've seemed to be stuck in for a little while.
