Bought a new hex bar

Sat, 14 June 14

So, I bought a new hex bar this morning. I have always wanted one, but it was too expensive to get one locally. I saw there was a new shop in the area,  so I checked them out.  Picked up the bar for a song.  The bar weighs 68 lbs and is 86 inches long.  Well constructed.  The nurls weren't too hard on the hands,  but as things got heavier I put on my straps.   Managed to get an all time max lift which was a nice surprise.  My lifts have been pretty crappie lately.   Bench went nicely as well.

Here's me repping 358 with the bar.

Here's the single at 458.

Deadlifts

Couldn't get another set out.  My butt is sore after those - I'm definitely hitting my glutes and my quads are feeling it too.

Good day. Built a raised planter yesterday and did some other yard work.  Took it easy today and had a great upper body session.  Added a set to my two main movements.

Squats

Man, felt weak tonight and not very flexible.  Despite that, I made it.  Focus is still on cardio, and hopefully its starting to work.
