Monday workout went about as well as expected. Even though I managed it, I'm going to stall on the Deadlift intentionally for a week. I feel like I just don't have the correct strength and form for this exercise and that I'm simply "getting it up" instead of doing it right.

As usual, the Overhead press is giving me the shits on my backoff set. I can barely complete 1x10 @ 20kg after doing my normal 5x5 @ 32.5kg. This has got to be some sort of Jedi mind fuckery because it just seems that it's a physical impossibility that I can't do better than this after working this exercise for so long.

I'm going with my wife after work to the local sporting goods store. I'm going to look for another set of fractional 1.25kg plates for her as well as a pad for the barbell (the bar hurts her shoulder on the squats) and a jump rope for me.

That's right, I'm going to be a total poser/follower and start using the jump rope for HiT. Next thing you know I'll be rocking up to the gym in 500 dollar outfits and wearing fancy gloves and wraps and instead of sweat, I'll have pumpkin spice latte dripping from my pores.
