extremely tough workout today, getting a little rundown, felt extremely achey all over and each single was pretty painful. Quads felt like they were going to tear right off, knees were a mess and in general morale was fairly low. Around my 5th heavy single I started to shift into another gear and they weren't too bad though. Up until that point, I felt like I had a flu or something along those lines. I never felt in danger of missing a rep, I still feel like if I wanted to I could do 15-20, but the weight felt much heavier today compared to yesterday. Really didn't like the bar I was using, it was fat and smooth and tricky to hang onto, especially with how sweaty I was getting, but when that stuff comes up I try to see it as a challenge to make sure I'm mentally tough as I sometimes get too set in my routine.
The gym itself is perfect, 3 power racks, 2 benches, dumbells up to 150, a space for pulls, piles and piles of plates, a boxing ring and not much else... perfect. There's a dude Pat who yells and gets pretty fired up who's been kind enough to yell at me a bit for some of my singles,.. it helps. The owner Jason seems like a really cool dude, he was training a kid in a wheelchair today, and I had to bite back a few tears when I saw how hard he was working. I'm a softy for that kind of stuff.
Megan is on her 3rd week of Smolov and she's crushing it, It's hard on her, but she's rolling thru it like it's nothing, I got fired up on one of her sets and she told me to chill and will yawn before a heavy set... I have no idea how she's doing it, or making it look so easy, but she's doing it.
