23 May 2013 -Recovery work and some other notes...

This song has totally been stuck in my head since Ohio as well as the Florida Georgia Line song.

So the last two days of training have been super light. Almost non-existent. But for good reason. It seems PR Pull Ups + Benching my Opener + Driving 3 days in a row = A totally locked Left Shoulder Blade /Rhomboid. It also hasn't helped that my sleep has been sideways so i am not all that rested all of a sudden.

I have been beating the crap out of it with PVC Pipe, Lax ball, Rumble Roller and Peanut (2 x Lax balls taped together). But for some reason it just will not totally relax. The brutal regime will continue. It has to at this point, i started to get a headache this afternoon. The dull ache did start to radiate down my arm and up my neck but i am keeping it at bay for the most part. OK enough whining.

I have also done some light Pull Downs, and Shoulder retractions as well as Banded face Pulls with a Hold.
After poorly teaching The Girl how to do GHR's we did the upper back regime, As well as some 45 Deg back ext. I will watch some vids and come up with some cues for for her.
Ich Liebe Dich!

So one of the things i gotfrom Coach X was do Eccentric work on my ACL

yesterday and today
Leg Press- Single Leg Lowers
2 x 10 x 70 lbs (not counting the weight of the leg press sled because who cares? you can't remove it)

I use 2 legs to push the weight back up. Tonight was only the second night and i can already feel the muscle around my knee contracting harder. I am not going to get too crazy with these. 1-3 sets a day depending on soreness. Next week i will also start doing them on both legs. For now I am doing just the recovering leg till i get a feel for it.
The Glute work will continue tomorrow and i also will get a up to about 70 % on the Rowing action for a few sets. I really need to work this upper back issue out, only 9 days until the Toronto super show. Next week will be a total de-load, which translates to me probably doing A lot of swimming.

Up early tomorrow to do something actually worth reporting.
Keep Moving Forward, Keep Getting Strong(er)
