I slept great last night. Right before I went to bed, we had a quick but very heavy shower move through. That knocked the temperature way down into either the low or mid 60s by the way it felt. I don’t remember what it got down too, but it was great weather for sleeping with the windows open and fan on!

It was also a fairly cool morning, so I didn’t need to even think about turning the air conditioner on. I did have to turn on the fan, but that was just to get some air movement. It was just a nice, bright and sunny but cool later spring morning. It doesn’t get any better than this.

First up for the day this morning were my three sets of five front squats. Today I had to do them at a light to moderate weight of 205 pounds. They felt light today. Nice, quick, upright front squats. For the most part, they were all pretty explosive squats at that, with ass to grass depth. They looked great today. They all really felt like a warm-up set. I got through them quickly today and wasted no time between sets.

The strict presses were still pretty light at the 105 pounds. I worked through them pretty and quickly. They felt light and easy today, but they shouldn’t have felt bad since they were on the lighter side for me.

Next I did five sets of three deadlifts and at 245 pounds. Other than my side feeling a little tight, they felt great today. It’s not a heavy weight for me, so I expected them to go well, and they did. The lifts were all nice and fast deadlifts today. Last week, when I did them, I felt a little off with them. My ankle was pissed off at me though from the night before the last session. When I was moving one of the logs, my foot slipped out from under me when I stepped on the slimy, muddy rot that came out of one of the logs when I picked them up. It’s feeling better now and has been. Thankfully, today they felt easy.

Finally, getting back into the hip thrusts again, I did these today. I did three sets of ten at 245 pounds. They felt great, and it felt good to get back at them. I’d been passing on these two over my ankle for the past week or so, but that’s been feeling fine, so I went back to them today at a lighter weight.

I’m optimistic now that my short little funk has passed.

Music for today was Pyrexia.
