Session 1
Back Squat
410 x 1 (v belt)
365 x 2
375 x 2
385 x 2 (v belt)
Squats were a little difficult today. 410 was a little slow. The back off sets weren't terrible except the last rep of 385. Was kind of a grinder, which I try to avoid. Oh well. I think I'm going to bring the real belt tomorrow and see how things go. I was able to hit 390 in the warmup without a belt, which is good.
Deadlift
275 x 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2
Deadlifts were fast and smooth. They felt the best they have since I started doing them.
Conditioning
1 mile run
TIME: 6:17
Lap 1 - speed: 9.1, incline: 0

Lap 3 - speed: 9.6, incline: 0
Lap 4 - speed: 10 - 10.5, incline: 0
This run felt great. It really wasn't even hard. Learning to run efficiently saves soooo much energy. I was barely breathing hard at the end of it. Granted this was on a treadmill, but I'm still happy with it. I'm probably going to do almost all of my speed work on the treadmill going forward just because there are so many variables you can control and alter to progress. I'm also going to focus almost exclusively on the mile distance for speed work and just pushing for progress in some way at every session. I figure if I can run a 6 flat at an incline of 2% that should allow me to run a sub 6 on a flat track. Hopefully. We'll see.

KB Snatches
70 x 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 per arm
Going to up my protein intake back to around 200g a day I think. I felt better every day when I was eating more.
Protein Total: 224

Do you find it harder to run with good technique on a treadmill? I have a hell of a time with it. Tips are welcome.
