31 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Deload week has returned. With how unorthodox this week is going, I’m glad I don’t have to really worry about hitting heavy stuff or hitting PRs. I know I’m worn and need this rest. I’ll be taking off completely the week of the contest and get a deep tissue massage. Upper back, triceps and hamstrings just keep twitching. I broke out into a cold sweat shortly after starting log clean and jerks. Hard to stay common when my body is getting all excited. Most taxing thing out of the way and on to dips. Easy, practically launched myself off the station on my warm-ups. Adding weight didn’t really feel like a noticeable change. Band work for shoulders was good to get the blood flowing. Some aches in my elbows on the jms but nothing some more sets wouldn’t fix. More band stuff and then a lot of stretching.
