^yeah thats totally what i've come to decide. I learned a lot and that was pretty cool but I have self-motivation so thats not really the issue. I'm so sore from Monday still though. All i've been able to do is walking and light jogging.
 
Today it was four 800 meter sprints. My times were 2:57, 3:19, 3:29 and 3:14. It was the first day that the weather has been good enough to run outside, and MAN, it sure was rough getting back on the track from the treadmill!

Tomorrow and Friday will be powerlifting workouts. I have a seminar with Rip this weekend and I'd hate to show up without my form in check!
 
-one hour spinning
-5 tibetan rites (21 reps each)
-arms and upper back workout (light weights)
-walking back from the grocery to the super far underground parking lot with
two heavy bags :D
 
six 800m, had to do them in less than 3 mintues, with a 3 mintue break - 1:1 work to rest ratio

then
4x10 trap bar deadlift 275lb
4x10 bent over row 150lb
4x10 high pull 165lb
4x30 ab complex
4x10 pull up
4x15 push up
 
pec deck, tricep pull down, bench press,
rinse, repeat x 3

nice quicky
 
So last night I had a session with my trainer that actually went well. Did a bunch of new exercises, including a pull-over on a stability ball that seemed to do a lot for my traps. Left feeling great.

Fast forward to around 4 this morning. I wake up as part of my usual sleep cycle, moved my head maybe a cm to the left, heard a light popping sound, and then a WORLD OF PAIN. It seems like one specific neck muscle has decided to cramp up on me something fierce. I'm hoping that if I can take enough robax and ice it that I can hopefully get back to the gym by Sunday, but it pisses me off that as soon as I have a good day at the gym something like this happens to set me back another week.
 
happens man

you might want to think about getting an electrolyte drink or something (you can make it yourself!). Sounds like a hydration issue honestly.
 
Heh, thanks for the tip GP. I drink at least gallon of water a day, a third of which with electrolytes. No, I think that it's something else. It's gotten a bit better and worse throughout the day, but overall it's not as bad. Still hoping for a full enough recovery by Sunday that I can get back to the gym.
 
Friday I went for a walk/run, did some bodyweight exercises and then a short dumbbell routine. Going to at least walk and do the bodyweight exercises, probably will lift too. I'm still sore from friday.

I'm so glad I started working out again.
 
Going to my 60 min spin class in 5 minutes. I swear Doogs, I WILL walk you today after I come home and eat breakfast. The temperature is tolerable today!

yeah well tweaks like that happen...you got to expect it if you are loading your system with weight.

If it happens often then it probably indicates you're pushing too much too fast (getting greedy about getting weight on the bar).
 
Yeah, I think my PFT pushes me a bit too much sometimes. It's feeling a lot better today, only really just a bit stiff on the one side. I was going to go to the gym, but as it turns out I needed to do laundry. Durr.
 
Sure, but no underwear at the gym creeps me out. Plus I had a family thing to do, and now I'm busy making excuses. :)

I'm still in the 'get back into the routine of going to the gym after an extended break' phase unfortunately. Lousy, I know. I'll be lucky if I'm in a decent routine by March the way this month is looking.
 
Today? Well, I spent today deadlifting and power cleaning in front of Mark Rippetoe and yesterday squatting, pressing and bench pressing.

It was fuckin great! It was a barbell trainer certification that he teaches which was an incredible experience. And yep, I got my copy of Starting Strength autographed. Hahahahha
 
hey rabbi was there any mention of steroids there by him and did he comment on this topic for us at all. Just curious.

He's a great guy, my brother met him and had a great interaction/coaching session with him. I also got a couple of his other books where he writes essays about whatever is on his mind training-wise. Really good reads you should check out the books he's written other than his main program books.
