Another day of having to wait for a squat rack to open. I started with deadlifts and then straight-leg deadlifts. I prefer starting with squats which serve as a warmup for deadlifts. I hate the overhead press. It is my weakest lift by far. I anticipate failing a set of overhead presses in the next few weeks. I felt a little more comfortable with the deadlift, but still feel my form needs much improvement. I did a larger-than-usual jump on squat on deadlift because I felt I needed to push those a little. Again, I added some walking on the treadmill to the end of the workout. The first treadmill I used had a belt that would slip forward once every 30-60 seconds. This could have led to hyper-extending my knee. I did about 7 minutes on this treadmill until another one opened up. I did 33 minutes on the second one.
