Good lifting session, thought it would go worse because I drank last night. Got shot down by a female I have a thing for.... wasnt the worst rejection ever I guess, but demoralizing. Maybe that fueled the workout.

Pre-workout-
Rockstar

Peri-workout-
gatorade powder + leucine (finally decided to order some)

Workout-

Deadlift- was a little hesitant after hurting my back a few weeks ago, but it went great after a lot of warming up.

1st set- 3 x 365 lbs
2nd set- 3 x 385 lbs
3rd set- 3 x 405 lbs
4th set- 3 x 410 lbs
5th set- 3 x 410 lbs

One handed clean and press-
1st set- 3 x 95 lbs
2nd set- 3 x 95 lbs
3rd set- 3 x 105 lbs
4th set- 3 x 105 lbs
5th set- 4 x 110 lbs (PR)

My right arm is far more stable than my left... maybe dislocating your shoulder makes your shoulder less stable.

Finished with lunges across the garage with 135 lbs and 155 lbs + some chins.

Great workout. O ya, fuck females.
