Not sore or burnt out, just unable to perform. Just warming up felt heavy. Got pinned by 245.
When I feel like that I know it is time to quit and try again another time.

Tuesday's MSEM didn't happen could not even get to normal rep weight without failing. Found the p90x ab disc which I loved to do circa 2013, and felt the burn for several days. Saturday Squats and deadlifts where locked and progress was good, just need to keep it up. I have some chalk coming in the mail that should help my dead lift's a bit.

After deadlifting last workout they felt like it would take forever to feel normal again. Tonight they felt great. My grip is super weak though.

« on: August 15, 2016, 12:49:56 pm »i've decided that full breaks are underrated for most amateur athletes. 4500 miles is a hell of a lot of driving time, where'd you go?
We went from Seattle to Nebraska. Got to see Yellowstone, the grand Tetons and arches national park on the journey. Weather was perfect, couldn't have gone better.

Weights are a few reps better on saturday. I am ready for september to get back to basketball, my cardio is gone and I am probably 10#s over fighting weight.

Recently went on a 4500 mile road trip and took my first vacation in ages. Didn't do anything but gain weight and lose strength.
I have been doing pretty well at lifting weights about 2x a week for the last 10 years. After the break I got back in the squat rack and it turned out bad. I forgot how damn sore you can get. My BW Pull up/dip/push up routine has been hit 2x this week and is feeling good.
Positive is my body has no nagging issues. My back feels great!

Today I am feeling worn down. hopefully just rinse and repeat.

Lost the brakes on the weekend car on the way home at the end of a 2-3-4 tuning pull...that was hairy lol! No brakes at ~140ish. Turns out I have a caliper leaking internally past the seal. Yay! New one on order.
That is sketchy. Hopefully nobody was around so you could just roll it out, or even better you were at the track?
What is your weekend car BTW?

There we go. I missed working out yesterday and tonight it was super late before I got a chance to lift. However I was able to muster up enough to make it happen. Only a couple reps and #'s more then last w/o but it felt so solid. need to stay after it.

When I am more active during the school year, I assume I feel worn down from all the activity.
Now that I am a month into summer I can't seem to catch up, still wasted wtf?
Motivation to improve is low atm. Today was my first day off in a spell and get going enough to visit the barbell. best workout all month.

Have not done much in a bit. I took a full week off after the school year. Felt mint until last saturday when I did a 8k mud run. Just now feeling solid enough to work on progress.
I've been riding my bike to work about 6 miles total everyday so that's something.

I felt great this morning playing basketball, but no explosiveness. This afternoon when I went to lift weights this trend continued.
Tried some jumps and practically couldn't get off the ground. Somehow I was able to better Saturdays effort under the bar.
Good stuff. I have been slacking on the mobility work, but have gotten in plenty of upper body BW work. Seems like when my upper back is a bit sore My squat improves.
