This turned out to be a good training week that ended strong with some solid training in between. Decided to mix in some trap bar deadlifts as they are something I haven’t paid much attention to. I also noticed that I have a nice stretch of being injury-free <knock on wood-no jinx>, so I look for that to continue <repeat wood knock>.
