Getting ready to move...

Had a good workout today, doing only compound lifts for a full-body day since I didn't lift yesterday and won't be able to lift tomorrow. I'll be moving back to the States at the end of the month, and getting in a daily workout between now and early June involving the gym seems somewhat unlikely. At least if I'm doing a full body routine I won't risk going over a week without training a body part.

Arm Measurement

It's a lot of fun to measure your arms before and after you work out, and have them be 2 cm bigger after you're done. Had a cold, flexed measurement of 39 cm (15.35 in) before doing my shoulder/tricep day work, to which I added some curls, and wound up with a 41 cm (16.14 in) bicep.

400 lbs (182 KG) DL x 2

Deadlifted 400 lbs (182 KG) twice tonight. One of the trainers at my gym was cool and sent me a vid of the lift. (Thanks Tom!) I think that I might've been a little too far back on the bar but my chest stayed up and my back remained straight. Just need to keep working at it. Might've had a third one in me but didn't want to risk anything going for a third rep when the second one had already been a little shaky.
