Stretching
Comments: I’m not sure what went on with me this day. I felt like I was ok as seen with training the day before. But I just was super irritable and it seems a bunch of little tiny things became enough for me to be super stressed out. Things that don’t need to be aired. The point being that I was ok starting to train and then got irritable right away. It was hot again and I was trying to keep my garage cool with everything closed and fans going. Deadlifts from the floor with the idea being to pull 500lbs for a single and then do 455lbs for 5 singles. Work on speed and thinking about how it would feel in a suit. I’m not sure what was going on with me. Raw floor pulls don’t seem to like me very much. I seem to just overthink it and screw it up. Working up stuff didn’t feel comfortable and good. Maybe too used to block pulls and suited pulls. Most I’ve pulled raw from the floor this year was 550lbs in January and I hurt my back doing that. Most I’ve pulled since that was 455lbs and that was just before I stopped training for a bit because it was feeling off and frustrating me to no end. Most I’ve pulled before today for this training cycle was 425lbs. Stuff felt slow and I didn’t feel powerful. This was 85% to 91% depending on how you look at it as far as my raw pull at this time. Dropped down to 455lbs for the singles after that. Trying to keep my cool and not freak out. Just had this feeling like my hamstrings weren’t there which I think sometimes happens when they are fatigued. Maybe. These were not giving me a feeling of confidence. I got so mad after my fourth pull with how it felt that I threw my belt against the wall. I think that little outburst did make me realize I wasn’t thinking and was just trying to pull with a narrow stance and not thinking about how I’ve been setting up with the raw block pulls in how I position my feet and legs in a way that I’m getting them involved in the lift to brace and break from the floor. Sides of the feet. That seemed to make that last pull feel tolerable but I was second guessing myself attempting it. Head was a mess. Hits kept coming and I wanted to just stop the workout, take a shower and go to bed without dinner. But I know that isn’t a healthy coping mechanism. And I’d be doing it to punish myself, not to feel better. We are so fragile at inopportune times. Next was stiff-legs. Plan was 2x8 at RPE 7. I figured that 365lbs would be the ticket with how these had felt previously. I was still in punishment mode so I didn’t put on straps until the working sets. I had to let off a few swears to get myself focused on what I was doing before each of the working sets. Trying to make these feel ok and not overdo it. After that was the assistance stuff. Two supersets. First being Bulgarian split squats paired with the side plank band rows. I may have done the split squats wrong as not sure if I was to keep doing the single offset ones or do them with the ssb or do what I did. I kind of didn’t care in the moment and only thinking about that after the fact. Split squats were no longer tempo, just accentuated negatives. No RPE given. I figured that I should be able to do twice the weight I was doing on the tempo ones but that ended up being too light. So probably the only bright spot for me was that I could do them with 40’s in each hand and that I didn’t feel so winded and tired that I had to take a really long break between sides like I had to with the tempo ones. But does show how effective they can be even with super light weight. The band rows were with the pauses as per usual and those felt fine. This combo wasn’t as taxing has it has been. Last pairing for the evening was leg curls with bands and weighted planks. Knew what to expect with the band leg curls but not planks. Haven’t done them in a bit. I’ve usually done them for minute hold as difficult to get more than a 45lbs plate on my back to do them. I like to get the weight lower on the body for added difficulty. It was a pain in the ass getting something somewhat challenging. Leg curls the first set was for just 20 and then for max. Surprised myself with getting over 30 reps on the max set. I was still feeling quite stressed and had a big dinner before stretching and cleaning up. Iced knees before bed. Hopefully the funk is gone tomorrow.
