Not Dead Yet

     Dead lift day, deadlift day, my second favorite lifting day! I love Mondays and what made it even better was that my unsolicited advisor kept any comments he may have had to himself.  Here's what got done tonight:

     Not too much to say about tonight. We killed it, we went home. I love the trap bar deadlifts because, and I hate that I'm going to say this, they totally feed my ego. Listen, everyone has a friggin ego lift and trap bars are mine, OK? I know I can move more on them than conventional and it makes me feel great to say that I lifted over 200lbs. Leave me alone. I'm old and don't have a lot of ego left anyhow. 

     I generally like to mix up my grips on the different movements. I have a habit of always doing one sort of row, so I made it a point tonight to keep my elbows out with the pronated grip. If you'd like some decent info on grips, you can watch a video here. 

     I was sweaty and gross when we left that gym tonight, and I felt pretty damn good. I may be older, and I may be slightly broken but I'm still kickin', and I'm still deadlifting.  I'm not ready to go yet.
