cloudy but no rain

the weather was not ideal, but it was not raining, so after i finished my deadlifts, i butched up (choad) and took my toys outside. cleans, mil press, front squats: out on the lawn in front of god, my neighbors, and any weightlifting coaches who may have passed by.

the thing about lifting outside is that i have to put pants on, and the weights are wet from the grass, and, of course, the ground is lumpy and uneven. all of these, except for the pants, were welcome and easily overcome challenges. chalk and a towel took care of the dew, and the lumpiness of the ground added an element of interest to lifts that were already pretty interesting, being new to me.

maybe i was just well rested, or maybe being outside was invigorating, but the lifts all went well, with plenty of energy. i will definitely make this a regular habit, and perhaps i'll even move the deads outside. i don't really want to destroy the lawn, but then, i'm a rentor, so what do i care?
