Day 2 Back At Training - aka A Lesson in Minding Your Body

07.24.2012

Strength:

-Strict Press: 4x3
5x35-3x45-3x55
[3x65-3x65-3x65-3x65]

*do not go up in weight. Kept losing my solid bracing of the abs - arching back.

-Front Squat: 4x3
5x65-3x85-3x105
[3x115-3x115-3x115-3x105]

*I don't know what to think. I feel like my body is failing me in response to my head. :( I've been beating myself up lately, really discouraged about the lack of physical changes despite cleaning up my diet. I know that inconsistencies in training are why my lifts aren't going up, but I feel like being mad at my body's appearance has started an internal revolt - like my body is yelling at my brain "Hey you! Don't appreciate what we do for you and how strong you're getting? Let's see how you feel about a day we don't perform at all."

Well I heard the message body. I'm sorry and will get my head back on.

-Snatch Pull: 3x3
3x85-3x95-3x105
[3x115-3x115-3x115]

*Only lift that felt even remotely ok. Go up next week.
