Workout Journal Notes

I increased Elevated Trap Bar Deadlifts by 20 pounds over last week, and they were tough for the first set, but I warmed up quickly and finished strong.

I still really like Dragon Flags as a new ab exercise, and I added a full 2 reps over last week’s mark.

I’m going to be doubling up again tomorrow and going to speed camp a few hours after working out.

Hopefully tomorrow’s circuit will be a little bit easier than last week’s insane one!

It’s always crazy doing weight training and speed camp on the same day, but I definitely enjoy having Wednesday completely off.
