I remember once writing how the gym is an exercise in overcoming fear. Squats aren’t easy, and I know workout-to-workout I’m going to have to trust my ability to pop out of the hole. I have a long way to go - and I’ve allotted myself a long time to do this. So. One workout at a time.

I’ve done heavier speed deadlifts, but I partially consider this technique practice. I want to work my way up slowly. Workout went at a good pace, hence why I did six sets of speed deads. Didn’t do anything else, as I don’t want to add things until I have a specific need to be filled.
