Sleep is about the same.  I really struggle with getting to bed at night.  I am a night owl.  The problem is then I can't get up in the morning so I sleep half the day.  I don't work outside the home so I don't have a reason that I need to be up early most days so the motivation just isn't there.  I will continue to work  on it.

Took the dog on a walk for about 45 minutes.…

TRAINING:

Back to deadlifts! I haven't done a conventional stance deadlift in over 3 years. I've done plenty of trapbar deads and sumo stance deadlifts, but I switched from conventional to sumo a long time ago and never went back. This should do something because it feels like doing deadlifts for the first time.

I am following Wendler's 5-3-1, and it starts out really light. These weights are about 100lbs less than working sets would have been a few months back with…
