Mid-week 3 update.
I have been trying to focus on nutrition a bit more, eating fewer high fat/sugar stuff and having more vegetables and proteins. This seems to be a decent plan, don’t feel sluggish or ravenous, plenty of energy for workouts, very bright eyed in the morning. Maybe too bright eyed.
For the workouts, I made a couple of regressions, primarily with the ab wheel. Presses are feeling better, squats as well. Much prefer the rack at the Golds over the ones at campus gym for squats, easier to deal with, easier to re-rack. Going to have to go in early to avoid the resolution people, though.
Probably could have gone heavier with the backwards sled drag (Deadlift day) but had to adjust to campus gym layout – the straight area I was going to use was…slick. Moved over to another area where the floor wasn’t slick but only had very thick bumper plates. Safety first. Used sled for prowler work, which was tougher than expected.
Did a foam roller session on my upper back (I like to have it vertical between my shoulder blades). I’m not EVEN going to mention how I did the rotational RPR the other day but I might have to snap a pic because this thing was so ridiculous. It worked okay though.
Had to move a conditioning day up to accommodate the time I had available for a workout, and to give me an extra bit of rest before deadlifts. That worked out beautifully, and I felt great for deadlifts. Thinking about getting some straps because of course no chalk allowed and my grip is what goes first. Will need an extra large gym bag to carry around all this stuff.
Probably could push harder but feel good about everything in general. On to second half.
