So, I am not quite sure what is going on with me but I don't think its bad. Either I am becoming accustomed to heavier workload and my recovery is exactly where it needs to be or I am not pushing myself hard enough. Basically, I have been increasing the weight in each WOD and doing two-a-day, but, my body does not feel worn out. I feel like I could do some three-a-days. I know I am not pushing myself to the max every workout but I am still setting PR's and making good times. I seem to be getting stronger as well. I figure that I am consistently going about 80% in my current workouts and will be able to go 100% at the upcoming competitions. I also feel that the weight will probably be lighter at the comps then what I have been using during my recent training. I am excited and ready.
My acupuncturist stuck a total of 10 needles in my knees on Tuesday to try and help my soreness (tendinitis is what I am calling it). Immediately following the treatment they felt great. Then, yesterday, they were kinda sore again. I decided to do low rep, high weight squats anyways because I am not going to let injury get in the way of doing what I love. Today however (Thursday), after I iced them last night, they again feel great! I hope it lasts!
AM: Back Squats
1x5 135#
1x5 185#
1x5 225#
1x5 245#
1x5 255# (PR)
I felt very strong on these sets. With a little more rest I think I could have done 260#, 5 times.
PM: 21-15-9
head to floor HSPU
dumbbell swings, 70#
toes to bar
17:12
The HSPU's took up the majority of the time here. I know I started this entry off with the "I'm not worn out thought," and I didn't feel worn out today, but, I just didn't have the strength in my shoulders that I have had in the previous HSPU workouts. I am sure the 60 push press I did yesterday had something to do with it. All of the swings were unbroken, I did 15 toes to bar the first round, only stopping because my grip was about to break, followed by the rest of the sets unbroken.
