Some Deadlifts and a birthday

Man, life has been busy.  Once again I find myself doing a weekly recap on a Friday, instead of consistently posting throughout the week.  Such is life, I guess.

Lets start last week.

After the collision I had with my brother, (almost 2 weeks ago at this point) I stayed away from the gym.  I thought I was alright, and I guess overall I was.  But my head was hurting the day after (Monday).  Touching it with any kind of pressure hurt.  And I noticed that after about 3 hours of being awake, I got really tired.  By the end of the day I was exhausted, and mentally drained.  I came home, went right to sleep.  Tuesday was much of the same, and Wednesday saw some improvement.  Thursday, I was much better.  3 days of good sleep, no alcohol or anything, and I was doing well.  I gave it one more day before going to the gym on Friday.  I went in with a bang and did some deadlifts.  I decided to go a little light, take it easy and see how I felt.

Deadlifts - 4 sets

Well, I felt great.  So great, that Friday afternoon my wife and I went out and had some sushi.  Really enjoyable afternoon.  Then Saturday, I went out for a friends 30th birthday.  Had a great time, plenty of drinks, plenty of fun, and only a few minor injuries.

Laziness got the better of me, and I stayed away from the gym until Tuesday.  Tuesday I went in and did some flat bench and some incline dumbbell fly's.  I also screwed around with some tricep pulldowns using the rope handles on the universal machine.  But screwing around is all I really accomplished with that.

Next, I did some simple squatting on Thursday.  It's been a while, so I took it easy.

And finally, Saturday.  Ahhhh, generic back day Saturday.  I did do some cleans, no heavy weight at all.  Did 2 reps every minute, on the minute, until I failed to get the bar up.  Yes, it's pretty weak.

And that pretty much sums up the week.  The plan is some benching tonight, followed by some squats on Thursday.  I need to get deadlifts in somewhere too.

I need to actually follow a program.
