September 11, 2011 - DE UB

I got a comment the other day about my most recent event training session that I wasn't being aggressive enough and that I wouldn't mentally intimidate anyone looking so tired. I feel it is a waste of energy to get super amped all the time. Perhaps they might be right about looking tired since I slept for almost 13 hours today. All the tired and soreness from this week caught up to me last night. Scar tissue in my left hamstring was acting up (probably the sand bag stuff and kegs), my right shin was sore from yoke runs and my left lat muscle as well. I think that was from csb box squats and snatch grip deadlifts.

36 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Fairly sore coming into this workout. Haven't tried doing clean and presses with bands on the axle before so this was interesting. Worked out just as well as the log. I was worried about my right wrist acting up on these but it didn't really. Swiss bar incline started off really easy but got difficult when I put on an appreciable amount of weight. My wrist started to bother me when I got heavier so I put on my wrist wraps. I tried for a big PR and came up short. Finished up with upper back and stretching.
