Training 15/02/13
This was always going to be a tough session. Far too much lower back and hamstring rapage from yesterdays session. To make things worse, I had horrendous scabs on my shoulders from squatting. Oh look, what's this as my first exercise...
Squats
bar x lots - feeling relatively mobile
60x10
100x5
140x3 - so far dodged too much contact with my shoulder squat burns, but I'd definitely placed the bar differently. Time to man up
160x1 - yep, ouch
185x3 FFFUUUUUUUUUU
185x3 "hey bro, is that blood on your shoulder?"
180x3 good lord the pain! Forcing myself to hit depth
180x3
180x3
180x3
That was brutal. Hamstrings were next to useless after yesterdays RDLs, which I can't remember feeling while squatting before. Lower back is severely displeased too, which isn't great considering what was coming next. However, technique is getting much better and depth is no longer a thing of mystery and myth.
So yeah, blood had soaked through the under armour I'd worn to pad my shoulder slightly, and my t-shirt.
Groce
Luckily, all of the blood was soaked away by my under armour. And yes, that brown stuff is chewed up scabs.
Paused deadlifts (beltless) - short(er) rests (than I wanted!)
100x5
140x4
160x4
170x4 - weirdly, lower back feel better
170x4 - oh, no, there it goes
170x4
Fin
Just silly amounts of fatigue! I'm saying it now, there is no way I'm doing Grace tomorrow. Posterior chain will fall out of my arse if I don't let it recover. I've got to do all of my pressing that I missed this week due to resting my shoulder, so time will also be a factor, but mostly I'm pussying out. Not permanently though, I'm still keen to vomit all over the lifting platform.
