Entry #170
Have to cut my strength program short. I'm laying off the squats and
deadlifts for the sake of my back. Granted, it's feeling perfect now,
but that's what I thought last time I injured it. Gonna play it safe
and give it time to recover from that strain. A long-term injury is the
last thing I want. Well, except for cancer or something. But besides
that.

Speed-bag practice for cooldown. This guy was impressed and wanted me
to show him how to use the speedbag. I had it down in three days --
what a useless exercise. But good for cardio.
