Okay, there were technically no snow deadlifts, but I was deadlifting and it was snowing outside, so that’s pretty much the same thing – only different. Great workout, but I can tell I’m definitely sitting at my desk way too much during the day. My neck is all sorts of sore, and my back felt like it got more work than normal from the deadlifts. Gotta get away from the keyboard more often…

Snow Deadlifts Summary
It’s great to look outside and see some snow. It’s the only thing that makes the cold weather worth it, aside from the crazy motivation I always feel. A light blanket of snow at least makes everything look decent outside rather than just grey and dead. Speaking of dead… Deadlifts were solid today, but as mentioned above, I definitely need to get up from my desk more during the day. I felt more strain than I should’ve in some pretty weird places. Perfect excuse to get up and move around more. Otherwise, the rest of the workout was great. B
