Yesterday was a pretty crappy day. I was tired all day and crabby and sore and just didn’t feel like myself. I was just miserable and felt like it’s been the longest week ever. I still feel like that, how is it only Wednesday?! In the end I was debating about whether or not to go to the Fort, I was in such a bum mood. Typically that will cheer me up, but even when I got there I just wasn’t feeling it. Today is a much needed rest day.
Food for yesterday: Breakfast: 3 eggs and 6 pieces Canadian bacon and 5 strawberries. Lunch: 5.5oz pork chop, hard boiled egg, ½ cup cooked carrots, and 2 oz trail mix. Dinner: big salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, half an avocado, hard boiled egg, peppers, and chicken on top.
Food today: breakfast: 3 eggs and 6 pieces of Canadian bacon and ½ cup cantaloupe. Lunch: 5.5oz pork chop, 2 cups mixed veggies, 2.5oz almonds. Dinner: 4.5 oz steak, roasted sweet potato, and cauliflower. .5oz dark chocolate.
Yesterday’s strength and Wod
Strength: Dead lift: 5(65%)-5(75%)-5+(85%) Training max – 99kg: 5@65kg – 5@75kg – 8@84.5kg
I was pretty happy with my dead lift. This is the one lift I have been able to keep up with throughout the “games programming”, I’ve consistently been going beyond the numbers on the + days. Now if only I could fix that with the other lifts… anyway I felt really good on the last set, the 8th rep was a little bit of a struggle to get, but I made sure of it. I can’t wait for when we find our 1 rep max on these lifts!
WOD: 15:00 AMRAP of: 5 Power Cleans (60/40) 10 Pistols (5 each leg) 15 sit ups. 8 rounds plus 4 cleans
My shrugging muscles were already sore from doing 45 heavy cleans the day before, so I wasn’t really looking forward to this. Jennie also wanted me to give pistols a try unassisted. I could almost get all the way up with my right leg, but I knew my left leg would have nothing to do with it. my IT band has just been unhappy lately and I’ve been trying to roll it and do a bunch of mobility stuff to get it better. So instead I used the ring to hold me up the least amount as possible. This was also the first time I’ve done sit ups in a wod since Louis appeared. So I took those a lot slower than I normally would too. Overall, I just wasn’t feeling this workout so I went at about 85%. Not to mention that on some of my cleans I felt this pinching feeling in my right tricep area coming from the back of my shoulder. I felt it a little bit the day before too. So I was trying to really focus on my form with those instead of getting through them really fast. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve done heavy cleans in 3 workouts since last Thursday or if there’s something else wrong. My right shoulder is already my crappy one from pitching for 15 years, so I don’t want to do anything to make it worse.
It’s a good thing today is a rest day, I did a bunch of mobility stuff and torture with the lacrosse ball on my legs and shoulders. I really hope these pains go away soon. I also took an Epsom bath and it was like a miracle, I already feel less sore than before. I'm gonna have to do that more often!
