     I've been using this phrase quite a bit lately, but "I'm pleased" seems to fit a lot of my sessions lately, so I'm using it again - "I'm pleased. I kept the volume lower on the deads and I managed to get heavier than I ever have. I also have never done RDL's with that much weight either. I feel OK today, not too much soreness. I was worried that my neck would freeze up during the night like it did last week and so many times before, but it didn't. THAT is a very good thing!

     It's days like this that help me to keep pushing even though I may not feel like it. I'm frustrated with a good number of things, but the weight on the bar going up always makes me smile.
