Front squats were... Well it was pretty obvious that it has almost been a year since I have last done them. The problem was the same problem everybody has with front squats, the grip. The bar was slowly slipping through all ten reps. I think that this will be easy to fix for next week but it was just pretty frustrating for today.
Deadlifts were a mess, I don't know why I can't get the hang of this lift. Every time I try doing them I end up straight legging them. I felt like I was starting to get the hang of them when I phased them out last season but today, with pretty much no weight on the bar, my form was terrible. I will definitely have to spend some more time studying.
Incline dumbbell press, well my arms with just dead from all the pushups in the circuits. I got ten reps for the first set, six for the second and five for the third. I was too off mentally from the deadlifts at this point I didn't care.
The circuits/running actually went pretty well, it felt easier than it did on Tuesday, I believe I'm getting more fit. My stride felt good too, nice and relaxed.
Tomorrow I am measuring my body weight, last week I was 161.4lb's so I'm guessing I'm slightly less this week from all the fitness work.
