Last Day Before a Rest Day

Ok. One thing right now is quite obvious - my left knee does not like the changes I made in my sumo deadlift form. Specifically, widening my stance.

I gritted through it the past few days, but I know I need to make a change to keep from getting injured in the long run. Tomorrow is an off day, but I'll bring my feet back in a little closer on Sunday's training session to see if that fixes the issue. I'm optimistic it will.

1) Sumo Deadlift - 225x5, 235x3, 245x2 Easy weight for every set. Speed and form were good and the weight came up fast.

2a) Push Press - 85x5, 90x3, 95x2 Again, easy weight for every set.
2b) Neutral Grip Pullup - 2x5 w/ weight vest

3) Squat - 105x5, 115x3, 125x2 Once again, easy weight for every set.

4) Negative Ab Wheel Rollout - 1x7

5) 1 Arm KB Snatch - 1x18

I'm still getting into the groove of this program, and so I don't want to push the weights up too quickly and risk blowing the whole program.

So far, so good.
