Deadlifts
Up to 500 x 1
* Very easy. I don't think I've lost any strength on this to be honest. Upper spine still hurts like usual but deadlifting doesn't aggravate it so whatever.

Walking dumbbell lunges
50s with Fat Gripz x 10
100s x 4, 8
50s with Fat Gripz x 20

Dumbbell split-squats
50s with Fat Gripz x 10

Trained in 102 degree weather today. It doesn't really make a difference to me. I'm always hot when I train in California outside. The heat is really only annoying at times of relaxation.
Benched 315x3 on Monday. Happy to be back at that level.

On Tuesday, did 3 hill sprints and an aerobic workout in my room afterwards.

Went to Muay Thai yesterday. 4 other people, 3 of them inexperienced girls and the other a very young boy. Good on them but not having comparable training partners sucks. Hate to say it but I may switch gyms due to price and class size. First half of the class was just conditioning which I usually don't like to do it since I do it at home. The rest of it was partnering up and throwing a mid left kick followed by any two punches. My first partner was the coach, thankfully it. I need to practice my body kicks more so this was a welcome drill. Ended with everyone getting in a rope and playing tag where we had to leave as soon as we got kicked without checking. Pretty fun and helped me focus on maintaining balance while multitasking. I landed plenty of kicks and people did not acknowledge them by leaving, however. The little boy in particular would come up with a reason why the kick I landed didn't count.
