That means tomorrow I'll be doing some trap bar deads (my favorite exercise). The gym in Novi had one but I've been going to the Commerce location. |

By the way, I love standing overhead presses be it with DBs or a BB. Your core goes into overdrive on those. |

Squat (sitting in the hole for 2 seconds) 225 x 7 * my form started to slip so I stopped here. |

You don't seem to be having trouble with that! Periodize your routine so that you unload more frequently in season, or perhaps only perform maintenance level strength training during the season and focus more on developing speed, power, agility, etc. |

I was even in good condition then....will say that I just came from sea level and now at 7k feet up....but I wanted to die...till I saw girls hanging...had to do the 'gut check'...and kept going. The next three days....misery...could barely walk.....was beautiful...in a masochist kind of way? |

After a few w/o's I've started looking foward to jumping ropes and getting the heart beat up. Thanks for the idea

Hope your hand is healing up
