So this weekend turned out to be one that I will remember for a long time, and thats not necessarily a good thing. Friday night shot a hypothetical bullet into my being and left me worthless for the next 24-36 hours. The seven man party we had at my house included, but was certainly not limited to, 1500 ml of Bulleit Bourbon, guitar playing, singing and juggling and adjourned around 5am Saturday morning. I spent Saturday trying to eat my breakfast while debating the pro's and con's of living.
Okay, back to the purpose of this blog. Since I did not update my Friday session I will hit you with a Double Update! of both Friday and Sunday.
Before I give you my stats, let me explain that I am dealing with a sore iliacus and my patella-tendenopothy seems to be flaring up a bit more then usual (soreness of my patella tendon). This is probably due to the stress I am putting on my body to prepare for the USAPL Maryland States. I just want a 400# squat damnit!! Due to these annoying ailments, I decided to take a minor de-load week with my squats. Without further adieu, here are the two workouts you missed.
Friday (semi-de-load)
Backsquat
3x5 @ 275#
Bench Press
1x5 @ 250#
1x3 @ 260#
1x5 @ 245#
Sunday
3 rounds:
15 hang cleans @ 135#
15 burpees
15 pull ups
8:58
The WOD on Sunday was terrible! I think I still had some lingering effects from Friday. I was able to do every set unbroken but around rep 8 of the cleans and pull ups I was ready to drop the barbell or drop from the pull up bar. I made a lot of noise getting the last seven reps and I think it might have annoyed the bodybuilders on the leg press machine. Regardless, of them and their stupid feelings, I was able to finish strong. It felt good to feel bad (after the workout, not on Saturday, that sucked for many reasons). Hopefully this week will be positive with regards to my preparation and injuries. Thanks for reading.
