Thanks Proteinboy.

8:00 weighed in at 204.6 lbs. (Just started taking creatine monohydrate when I started the bulk, so I think that is where a lot of the added weight came from.)
Was a beautidul day. Topped out at 75 and sunny. Went for a bike ride in the morning. I went 21 miles pulling my daughter in a bike trailer. Trip took 1:34. Then we went to an apple orchard in the afternoon. When I got home I ran 5 miles outside.
After my run I went and picked up some gym flooring I ordered. As I increase my deadlifts, it keeps getting more difficult to hang on to the bar and I am getting to the point where I am a little worried that it will slip out and that would not be good for the cement in my basement.

You gonna join the deadlift challenge?
Awesome. I know you can 50lbs no problem. Adding 50lbs to your dead in the beginning of weight training should add some serious muscle.

I don't think I have the correct name down for the straight-leg deadlifts. These are just regular dealifts that I am doing. The stiff-leg deadlifts are the ones where I do not bend my legs and just use my back. I am going to update the routines to reflect "deadlift" rather than "straight-leg deadlift".
Post-workout, played 6 games of volleyball indoors. We went 3-3 tonight.

Hey Chillen! Thanks!
I don't keep track of the time when I run outside. I have a few block warm up and cool down before and after the run, so I would have to bring a stopwatch with to time it. I keep track on the treadmill on the days I run indoors.
Heading down home for the weekend, so an early workout today.
