TRAP BAR PR

     I forgot to log the squat notes from Sept. 12, so I'll post that tonight as well as our deadlift notes. I managed a PR on trap bar, which, honestly, wasn't too difficult because I don't do them a lot, so there's always big steps. But I'm still proud of it. Here's what got done fro both days:

     Our schedules were screwed up last week, so training didn't happen. I was worried today when we went back because I thought I had back slid a little. I guess some time off did me good! Now, I know that I can pull more with the trap bar than with conventional, but I'm still damn proud of myself. I've never lifted that much weight. Again, there is a caveat here - I'm guesstimating that the bar is 65lbs. I really don't feel like lugging it all the way out to the other room to the scale to get an exact weight on it. Just let me have my moment!

 Anyhoo....I'm feeling pretty good and ready to see those numbers keep getting higher  on all of the lifts.
