10 Oct 2013 - Down then Up then Down...

It has been a strange week.
That job out of town which I thought i would get to a gym never happened. 2 x 16 hr days of work followed by a longer than normal trip home.
So I did not see the inside of a gym until Monday and it showed in my mood for sure. I also seem to lose my zest in everything. So with a few things on the go i went with a different mind set this week. Simply get in the gym and get work done. No writing anything down. No define plan just some simple guidelines to get me in the gym.
I re-learned a hard lesson. Training is a drug for me. Without the Endorphin from Training apparently my mind set shifts very quickly.

-Rehab
-Back Work
-Tricep Work
-Test my pressing.

I also did some Sumo Deadlfting this week as well. Front Squats for an easy 185 lbs x 5 early in the week.

 Just before i left for Meaford last week i was told i had to do a PT test tomorrow 11 Oct. It is a straight forward and simple test to say the least. i will post the test and my results tomorrow. But it affected the way i would train this week. I seem to have a lot of demons rise back up in the past few weeks. Work has become insane again and for some reason i am struggling to maintain an even keel. I will find my way in the storm I am adjusting and it is getting easier. Just been a long time since i have been in a work environment like this.

Winter is Coming

Normally i would go hard and heavy expelling them daily. That coping mechanism also leaves me beat up and sore. Not quite a good scenario when you have to pass a PT test. So tomorrow is the test. Then i will really unleash.

The Bears play tonight so i will have my Sprint session for the weekend laid out.

I saw the RMT today. He was very happy with my upper back. Things are moving forward every week with it. We also narrowed down my hip issue. Apparently unlike 90+% of the population my hip /low back pain is actually in my psoas and Iliac. The Shaman dug into my Iliac and it released. Bingo. That was it.

Oh I also had a clunk during 45 degree Side bends this week in my low back which also relieved the pinching sensation in my left hip. So between my body resetting and the Shaman doing his magic i am feeling 100% for my PT Test tomorrow. No Excuses. Bear Down.

Keep Moving Forward, Keep Getting Strong(er)
