I can't remember the last time I stopped in the middle of a workout. I'm not even sure if I ever have. Usually once I warm up I'm good to go, no matter how poorly I feel going in; but not today
Woke up last night at 1 am with some serious rhomboid pain, probably from working on my training partners mess up lat and shoulder with hands on techniques and a bo stick and I think I just really overworked my lat
got up in the middle of the night to try to roll it out but no joy
About 3 hours of total sleep and lots of pain.
It didn't lessen during the day
Then Glenn called in sick. And i'm supposed to take 190 today
But, rule number one is " don't be greedy" so I accepted it all and told myself I would start and if it didn't go well I would walk
It didn't so I did.
Just NO energy. I didn't want to lift I wanted to nap.
And the shitty thing was is that my groove felt great. I thought perhaps the press motion would help reverse the rolling tightness and it seemed to. But I didn't have any more fuel to spare without adrenaline and there was no way I was going there
Military press
stick x 5
45 x 5
65 x 3
85 x3
105 x 1
120 x 1
135 x 1 ( not that easy but good groove)
150 x 1 pretty solid but bar speed slow
160 x 1 pretty stinking hard.
Done.
Pec minor is very tight as is teres. Haven't felt, or moved like this in 4+ years, prior to my TKR and it brought me back there way quick
A place I do not want to be. Nothing is worth that
But I feel better now, some alleve a nap, food and some lacrosse ball work see how I feel on wednesday whether I press again or speed swing
BW 168.6
BF 12.7
W 56.7
day off tomorrow!

"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."
