STRETCHING

DONE

Back started getting tight around the set of 295. Started getting some localized tightness on the right side on second set of 365. The pain didn't get to the point that it was extremely localized in one little spot like it did a couple of weeks ago. Probably got halfway to passing out after the last set. My hearing started to go a little. Last set was REALLY tough. Probably in part because I started using the sumo style today at the suggestion of Mr. Selkow on EliteFTS. My toes were about 6 inches from the plates on the first sets. On the last set, I set my toes out to about 3 inches from the plates.

When I got home, the tightness was gone and only came back if I purposefully hunched my lower back out.
