Man I love to train. Didnt sleep for shit for the last three nights as my little two hand swing foray locked up my traps and neck something fierce, waking me up out of a sound sleep at 12 midnight each night. I wasnt pulling on the bells on the upswing but I was letting my shoulders shrug up on each rep as the force moved higher. So I really didnt think I could do anything this am but it quieted down nicely after 12 hours of almost constant bodywork,lol!
I wasnt worried as I knew it was muscular not vertebral but not sleeping really messes with me. I sleep for crap anyway and this was just insult to injury. This used to happen in bodybuilding or powerlifting when I did shrugs. My body just didnt like them at all and my neck would complain. So when it released and I knew I could train on time it was just like Christmas!

"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

Nice one, ESPECIALLY considering you didn't think you were going to be able to train today. Cool.
Training w/ no sleep really, really, sucks. But sometimes when your done it's the best you'll feel all day too.
Dude I got 5 ladders of 5 rungs today w/ the 53. Monday 3 sets of singles with the 70!!
actually I'm kinda scared, I was whipped like an Alabama mule with the 53. Todays C&P workout w 33% more weight = dead Roycester ( but much leaner dead Roycester ) Guess it's time to not be a sissy.
Nice work with the ladders with the 20 kg!
With being stuck behind a computer alot lately, I have really gotten into GTG with pullups. Yesterday, I got in 100 pullups doing sets of 8 and then one last one of 4 to round it off to a nice 100. I felt like I was doing something even though I wasn't taxed.
royce, thanks man, sleep is so important to recovery too. the 70 will go up like a rocket, no worries!
pete
