I probably shouldn’t have subbed out the deadlifts, but I kind of wanted to know if I could have gone a little higher the other day. So I did the last one with 210-lbs, and will see if I can go 215 on Thursday. Then I’ll be rational, and wait until the next day for deadlifts before doing more.
Not a bad workout, but I’m still not keeping the energy with the workouts like I have in the past. I’m hoping a couple more workouts and I’ll be back enough in the groove that it will be better. My knee is bugging me a bit so tomorrow I won’t bother with the treadmill. I’ve got enough chores to keep me busy.

Well, I’m going to do some general surfing with the laptop for a while before I go to bed, but I’ll log my meals here before I go. I did a little of this, a little of that again today. Nothing particularly interesting, but a nice day. The lifting went well though, so that’s a good thing. I think I need to take some time tomorrow and perhaps work on my homework, and an assignment that’s due the week we go back. Then on Saturday or Sunday I’ll prepare for the electricity labs on Monday.
