Iron rails & iron weights

Some more-than-respectable iron work today.  I started out with deadlifting, showing some progress over last session: 6 x 225, 6 x 255, 6 x 275, 4 x 295, 4 x 305, 3 x 315.  Then I did some bench pressing, improving on last session's 5 x 5 at 225 by adding a sixth set at that weight: 6 x 135, 4 x 185, 2 x 205, 6 x 5 x 225, 2 x 8 x 185.  Now that the seated calf raise machine is back in service I did some of them, 3 x 15 x 165.  Seated calf raises aren't what you'd call a vital exercise, but they supposedly help one's deadlifting, so that why I do them.  I also worked the speed bag for a while, which was quite difficult at first because the bag has been re-inflated and moves much faster than before.  It took several minutes before I could get the hang of it and build up a decent rhythm.  I finished the session with a one-mile run on the treadmill at 6.0 mph.
