Nothing New

Missed my top singles in the deadlift and bench press this time. All lifts this week felt slow, heavy, and slightly off. It's been warm and very humid, so that's going to be my excuse.

Still swimming every day and getting all my steps in. Last year my pressing strength tanked a bit over the summer. This year it's holding up quite well. I have a few nagging aches and pains and will probably go back to physical therapy to try to fix them. Sorting out my shoulder last October had a major positive impact on my lifts. More frequent maintenance might be necessary as I get older.
