Sucky Speed Leg Day

[Exodus]

Yesterday was crap........ i had to run to get my equipment train with for the contest........ i ended up not being able to flip my tire. my hips are way overtrained right now, and to top it all off my new belt i bought and tried out today during box squats made my back cramp........ i had it too tight. so i loosened it up for the overhead squats and it felt better.

Speed Lower
Box Squats -205 x 10 sets of 2.... resting 35 seconds in between sets.

overhead squats - 135 x 2 x 10. (hips were screaming)

reverse hyper - 3 x 8 x body.

felt exhausted so i called it a day, i felt like a pud, but i want to be recovered to perform at my best this weekend.

blah blah blah......... you people from Kentucky think you know everything dont you........ what are you a pro strongman or something?!?!?!?!

well........ if those words of yours hadnt echoed in my head half through the workout, my pigheadedness would have finished. but i decided to take it light. i went into the gym tonight with Trinity and her partner and mine to just watch and do some AR with my mini band. But im feeling better today, im glad i stopped where i did, and im definitely glad i didnt flip the tire.

thanks, B your a life saver.

Ex, let me give you the advice that is ringing through my head right now...because I didn't take it.....stop before you hurt yourself! You are too close to comp for even a minor injury. I know how you feel and that is the dedication it takes to be great....but I also know that if something were to happen right now you would have a hard time forgiving yourself,,,I am in that situation right now

 

[Cuthbert]

seriously man, let the hips rest.

Lucky for me, I've been going SOOOOO hard these past few weeks that I'm absolutely ready for the last week off... feels like my strength is peaking at the perfect time though..

Rest up, even though I KNOW it's hard to... trust me.

See you saturday.

There will DEFINITELY be some post-contest partying...

...it's been hard enough to lay off the pre-contest parties, aside from monday of course


Lol, on my 21st I drank over a gallon of pedialyte in addition to everything else, not a trace of a hangover on tuesday.

Lesson learned: Have a lot of it on hand at the competition, it hydrates you like a mofo, and after reading Slinky's write-up about staying hydrated, you bet I'm gonna be doing just that.

If I'm not mistaken, b is a big believer in the stuff.. and now I am too....


And for those who haven't understood yet...
