Wow. Longer lift than I thought, especially for the first one coming back and feeling a little sick. Still, no huge weights. Terrible form all around. I was definitely more tired than I wanted to be. Rob gave me his number, said he'd help me with a DL clinic and I could totally use it. I'd like to lift more. Try to follow up with him.
We had a bit of a discussion over why people lift, and I suggested that I had background in lifting to compete in swimming. And that's sort of explains why I have this different philosophy/workouts/form. It's not really an excuse, just highlighting differences in approaches and execution. I'm excited to try a deadlift clinic. Apparently it's not super hard and I'd love to lift more weight.
