The barbell felt colder than usual this morning. March air still has that bite to it, and the garage gym doesn't warm up until about noon. I noticed my grip slipping on the third set of deadlifts—not because I was weak, but because my hands were actually numb. Small thing, but it reminded me that environment matters. I grabbed my gloves, took an extra minute to warm up my forearms, and the next set felt completely different.
Today's session:
Deadlifts: 5x5 at 85%
