Where do i start.
I have been doing something the past 5 days. My head space started to slip. I had to take Saturday and Sunday off for the knee. After the acupuncture on Friday i woke up Saturday with a severe irritation on my patella (PT did warn me it will get worse before it gets better). Even sitting in the car was annoying. I rolled on the PVC pipe until i had to switch to the foam roller Sunday night trying and smash my IT Band. I have since even pulled my rumble roller out.
But when i let up on the accelerator on my training and recovery exercises it plays with my mind. FEAR slips in, Fear of failure, Fear of not doing enough, Fear of thinking i am doing too much. When i have the sensation of being stationary i feel i am already being left behind.
I put alot of pressure on myself to come out this whole recovery on top. I know i will have days like this. I felt completely drained on the weekend physically as well. So i ate and then ate some more. I ingested a shit ton of Calories(probably an extra 1,500 extra a day easy). Which paid off as i had an extremely awesome Floor Press /Back Assistance session Monday morning. But i could not seem to carry that with me the rest of the day and by the end of Monday i was feeling morose. It peaked yesterday, i only stretched and foam rolled and did some (alot) of TKE's in the AM.

So i went to bed early last night with the intent of stoking that fire that always burns. Revive the intensity. Alot goes on in my head below the surface but through it all i know one thing. I will push through, continually moving forward, continuing to get Strong(er*)
*extraordinary resolve

| My BFAST both days last weekend (minus the gun and more eggs) |
YES THAT'S RIGHT I HAVE A BAR BACK IN MY HANDS WHEN I SQUAT. The Weight will come but for now i can lock in my technique. It is going to take some time. Weird i put a bar on my back and my hips want to shift left. So all these reps are slow, TIGHT, and controlled with form /technique being the main concern.
The Front squats are good because just the addition of the bar makes my quads fire harder. Even though i am cleared to walk run i will lay off until after my physio appt Friday. The IT Band is responding so no need to aggravate it just yet. I am going back in tonight to get some calf work, TKE's and a little neck work completed. Remember Tomorrow is THROAT PUNCH THURSDAY (so says Harry Selkow) so there will be an intense neck day tomorrow after i push the PROWLER.
