14 July 2013 -marrghh!

So as predicted i had the massive energy drain after the Deadlifts. Now thati can predict this happenning i will modify my schedule slightly until my body adjusts. I also will give myself the kick in the ass i need to to not lay around but instead get some extra recovery work done.

I spent some time going over things in my head while i was plodding away on the incline treadmill. I have to shift my priorities slightly. Now that my leg is recovering, everything else is trying to find balance and i am fighting a lot of little issues. My shoulder /upper back is coming along. I should be able to begin working my Bench and OH press next week. So with that being said i have decided to pull out of the Bench meet next weekend. There is just no point. I have not even tried to bench since the last Meet at the beginning of June because of all the sh*t i have had to mess with the last 5 weeks.

The Psoas is still giving me a little bit of discomfort but has not impeded training. It will require regular attention for the next few weeks as well. Along with making my leg still gets strong(er) and reacts to faster movement. But everything is moving along, i just have to remain patient for the moment.

This was mostly about active recovery and rehab today. I will back off on the low back work a little bit only because by the time i got home things were "off" so to speak. But i will play that day by day.

Taking off for a week to go visiting. I will be trg. I will check in when i can.

Keep Moving Forward, Keep Getting Strong(er)
