terrible sleep last night - took me a long time to fall asleep, and I kept waking up throughout the night. Needless to say, I don't feel so crash hot today, tired, but at least I'm not drained. Everytime I squat heavy, I just cannot sleep well. Jacks up my nervous system too much!!!
Achey in my...
Tuesday 16th December - Block 13 - Week 1 - Day 1 - Workout A
Back to the gym I go. Starting a new block today.
Not an ideal prep for this workout, had to rush there, as I was way late. Didn't get a chance to do my usual nap, so felt a bit drowsy.
Skipped a lot of my usual stuff I do in my...

When I woke, I felt pretty beat up, some upper back and spinal erectors. Slightly run down feeling. That sucks, since I haven't squatted or BBall/Jump'ed in 2 weeks! It's all from my part time job, after 5 days in a row, I don't feel so good. Makes it hard to tell how...
Supposed to have an easy deload workout on Tuesday, but I didn't feel like training, so I skipped it, and I'm glad I did. Body feels so much better now. Spinal erectors and lower back no longer complaining. Poor motivation = overreached state
Will probably skip BBall/jumping again this weekend...
A quote from Kelly Baggett. I know Kelly has mentioned this before - but this is the reason why it's a good idea to gain some muscle mass and bodyweight, even if your goal is to ultimately propel your body around. Especially if your not gifted in body structure and leverages. To improve your...

Skipped BBall yesterday.
Upper back and traps pretty sore from my part time job. Posterior chain a little achey as well.
I get to rest the next 2 days, which is nice.

sore all over, hamstrings, glutes, spinal erectors and upper back extremely sore!
Feel pretty drained as well. I definitely overdid it yesterday. Had problems falling asleep last night and then woke up an hour early :(
Tuesday 2nd December - Block 12 - Week 4 - Day 1 - Workout B
Pretty good and solid workout. Amazing how much stronger I feel when I get a decent level of sleep and naps over the weekend.
Long workout though, but it didn't feel like it.
heavy duty 40 min foam roll session at home before...
