39 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Mixed bag today. I felt good but sore in the hamstrings. My allergies weren't too bad in the morning they turned out to be even worse than the day before. Stressed and irritated. Did not feel comfortable with btn jerks and I won't be doing them again, too risky. On the 245lbs single, I brought the weight down in front and messed up the rack and had to drop it and it grazed my left knee. That caused my the bursa sack on the top of my knee to swell up a lot. It's not painful to walk or do anything but it does hurt to poke it. It was already slightly swollen from the axle incident at Viking Fest. Just ice and compression when I'm home and anti-inflammatories when I can. I was getting pissed off when I got up to 285lbs and it didn't get any better. The down set with 275lbs was a mess. The weight was easy but it almost slid down my back catching the third rep. It really was a clustersuck. Log floor press was much better. My goal weight of 270lbs felt way too easy so I went to 310lbs. That felt good but I didn't want to do another set so I just repped it out. Really surprised to get six reps when last time I did these 300lbs was my best single. Rows went well but I kind of lost steam by the third set and stopped at nine. I was getting tired. Lots and lots of stretching. I need to rest and recover.
