So, did I mention how ridiculously sore I got from playing football on Thursday? It's Monday, and I'm still a little sore, especially in my calves and feet. Now, sprinting isn't really a part of my training regimen, but maybe it should be. I didn't expect to get my ass kicked this hard. I also think that I sat on my ass this weekend, and it didn't help my body recover at all. I didn't eat enough either. Surprising, considering it was fucking Thanksgiving weekend.
I had planned on doing squats on Saturday, but my legs were in no condition to take that kind of a load. Instead, I did a "regular" pulling session, without deadlifts. Here are the sets.
Oh, and on the bicep curls I did 4 sets... 2 with the "hammer" bar, and 2 with the curved bar. The hammer was a barbell that you added weights to, the curved bar was off of a rack, meaning there were multiple bars of different weights I could pick from. I put the hammer barbell on the gym scale, and it came to exactly 22lbs.

With shrugs (and deadlifts), it always seems like my grip is failing. I don't know if I should be specifically working on my grip, if I need to get one of those stupid grip things that people use while driving to increase their strength. It's an idea, I guess. On the 1 handed rows, when I jumped the weight to 105, it was the same thing. Grip fails. I'm gonna start googling how to increase your grip strength. It's holding me back.
