Legs

My hip flexor is still a bit sore today, but a lot better than previous days. Still, I didn't want to take any risks with it, so I did some leg exercises with limited rom. A bit restricted for time today, so only 2 routines and a "finisher".

Deadlift - 1 rep max:
135 (10)
165 (6)
185 (5)
205 (3)
215 (1)
225 (1)
235 (1)
245 (1)
255 (1)
265 (1)
275 (1)
280 (1)
285 (F)

That's a 5lb increase on my previous PR a couple of weeks ago.

======

Partial squats - 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 (safeties @ 11, which - checking back - is what I usually do)
210, 235, 255, 275, 295 (2)

Another PR, but only for 2 reps. Looking back at my blog and journal from last year (when I was mistakenly calling these pin squats) I've come a hell of a long way in less than 12 months. My earliest online reference to partial/pin squats was back in November 2010, when I PRed at 240, 55lb less than today. According to that post, I'd noted in my written journal my previous PR in September 2010 was 215 for 2 reps - 80lb less than today's PR.

======

Leg extensions - max @ 110
15, 13, 12

A limited routine today, but good results nonetheless.

No hip flexor pain during my workout, but it did hurt a bit when I did stretches at the end.
