Comments: I
really didn’t want to put up this training session. I stayed in bed from 5:50PM
to 9:30AM and I didn’t want to get out of bed. This training sucked and I’ve
got a new injury from me being tired and lazy. Have my one arm in a makeshift
sling made of towels and a heating pad. I know better than to make decisions when
I feel like this but right now I just want to quit. Drive out to Lancaster was
pretty smooth. Knees were aching so bike didn’t feel so great. Calf work was
super easy but my left calf felt like it was cramping. Box touches felt good.
Bird dogs felt good, too. Band rows and modified push-ups were supersetted as
per usual. Used a different setup so that I was close to both stations. Biceps
stretch felt good. Sandbag toss again. The toss tower is fixed so it was time
to try out doing the medley. Took a bit longer to get ready as my knees were
sore. Thank fully setup takes a lot less when you don’t have to build the
equipment the same day. This didn’t go well. Plan was contest medley three
times. 30lbs was no problem but going for the 40lbs right after was not easy.
This thing is way less forgiving than the makeshift band setup as it will slam
that bag back down if it doesn’t clear it. I didn’t want to count that first
set so I restarted. Realized that I can toss that 30lbs really good from just
about anywhere, I need to get closer for the 40lbs now, especially after doing
a toss beforehand. 50lbs was not even close. I gave to two goo attempts before
I gave up. 60 seconds is a lot of time for this event it seems as I have enough
time to catch my breath and give five tosses if needed. Seeing as how 50lbs
wasn’t happening, I figured I’d get through 30lbs and 40lbs and just give 50lbs
my best effort. Luck wasn’t on my side as I missed the 40lbs again on the next
set. Rather than stop like I did the first attempt, I figured I’d treat this as
if I missed in the show and try to adapt and keep going. Didn’t go well as I
missed the second try and it came back down. I stupidly didn’t get out of the
way and tried to catch it with my body. Felt my left shoulder “click/pop” so
that wasn’t good. I was in workout mode so just a dull ache and as long as I
kept moving, the pain wouldn’t come too quickly. Got the 40lbs over after cursing
myself out in my head and gave a halfhearted attempt at 50lbs. Set things up
again and my toss was off for 30lbs and I missed it from being too far out.
Needed a mulligan. No miss this time on the 30lbs or 40lbs but 50lbs was not
happening. I figured I’d try one more to get the 30lbs and 40lbs over with no
misses. Didn’t work out for me. I missed the 40lbs but with how it fell, I didn’t
realize I had missed until reviewing the video later. Log after that. Plan was
to work up to a top single. Do the pauses and holds up to 80% of what I thought
I could do and then regular after that. 20lbs jumps. Push pressing so not much
issue for the shoulders and I figured I’d stop if it was painful. It wasn’t so
it was on. Things felt ok, lockout just felt slow today. I didn’t think I’d
miss anything under 300lbs though. Couldn’t get 286.5lbs to get past the point
where I can grind out a lift. It shouldn’t even be a lift that I have to grind.
Just looked at it with disgust. I laid down on the one bench and contemplated
what I was even doing. All motivation left my body and I felt every ache. It
wasn’t even 3:00PM but I was feeling drowsy. No good would come of pushing
through. In full depression mode. I used the TENS unit on my shoulder before
driving home so that it wouldn’t just get painful while driving. Home and
stayed up a few more hours before going to bed really early and drinking a
weight gain shake as my dinner.
