Its Saturday morning post deadlift workout and I am moving slowly with great deliberation. My third week of preparation has commenced and ever so slightly the next day lethargy and soreness is making an appearance.
Yesterday was a particularly long day at work 13 hours with additional travel time on the road. As a result it was well into the evening by the time I tackled the first 3x8 set on deadlifts. Though I am starting to get used to these interrupted days so it's having a less of a detrimental effect on training.
The weight isn't particularly challenging at this point, but the sets of 8 reps scheme is a tad annoying. As the instigator of this routine suggested, the sets of 8-10 are just to weed out the 'soft cocks' before the real work starts.
Today has been all about rest and the usual recovery work to get ready for tomorrows session. The greatest impediment to recovery continues to be interrupted sleep. Unfortunately my toddler has struggled with a nasty Croop virus this week so sleep has been challenging. Regardless shit happens and kids always..always come first!
At the end of last nights session noticed a kid setting up in the cage to....military press?? I couldn't help myself but had to suggest the muscle motion racks have J hooks that you can sling on the outside for just such an occasion. To be fair many of the guys here have no concept of 'working in' yet so it will take a little eduation.
Bring on bench tomorrow.
Stay Strong
