Inching Closer

     Goods things happened at the gym tonight. I'm still frustrated with progress and nutrition, but I'm still plugging along. Frank asked me, and I'm paraphrasing here, "What are you gonna do, just give up and be like every one else?" Of course, I cannot do that, so here's what got done tonight:

     The deads went super well tonight. I had no intention of doing heavy singles, but it felt like the thing to do. I'm happy to say that I'm only 10lbs away from my old PR. It gives me a teeny, tiny glimmer of hope that I am indeed heading in a good direction and at least on deads, I should be hitting some PR's pretty soon! My grip definitely needs to get stronger but that's to be expected. That's why I like the barbell and the dumbbells over the cable machine. I don't feel like my grip gets worked as well on the cable machines. 

     There's lots of areas to improve in and lots of progress to be made. I just hope that I'm doing it correctly. There are days when I feel like I'm floundering and moving in circles. Today felt like I moved forward so I'm taking the w. It's a little w, but it still counts.
