Incredibly sore this morning still. Glutes and the surrounding areas are super sore. Aside from the soreness I felt great this morning. Got a solid nights sleep, and feel healthy. Have eaten strict paleo thus far today. Knees are feeling a little better today as well, despite the squatting I did yesterday when I was training my Dad and his friend. Was good to get a little coaching in yesterday, and next week I’m starting an on-ramp for a few friends so that should be good. Good solid training today, we just got a back extension stand at school so that was nice, wish they had just gotten a GHD though. WOD: Military Press(Push Press): 120×5, 120×5, 115×5, 115×5, 115×4(1) Weighted Pull-up: 30×5, 5, 5, 5, 5 Hip Extension: 10, 10, 10Toes-to-bar: 10, 10 10 Pretty happy with my training today. Nice to…

Wow, so sore again this morning. My glutes are absolutely destroyed, I can barely walk. Hamstrings are sore, lower back, and traps are all sore as well. My knees are beginning to feel better. I think my problem was tight calves, I’ve never really stretched my calves and I have begun attacking them with stretching, self massage, and PVC rolling. Ate perfect paleo all day today, feel so much better just in a day, but I’m dragging a bit as I think my body is back to using glucose for energy right now and not fat. Going to hit the back and shoulders tomorrow, same as last Friday, try and pack 5lbs onto my lifts. Hopefully I can walk tomorrow. Cheers. – Jade

Still damn sore this morning. Lats and core aren’t too bad anymore, but my chest is still wrecked. Ate very poorly at work yesterday. I really can’t wait until I am able to stop working at the restaurant so I’m not around that food all the time. Did some strength work, and actually did stuff with the legs. Focused on posterior chain so I think my knees should be okay given the exercises. WOD: Deadlift: 315×3, 315×3, 325×3, 335×3, 345×3 Alternating DB Lunges: 40×8, 8, 8 Overall felt pretty good with the training. My first set of deads felt really weak, but I think it was just my body not quite being ready to lift heavy weight. The other 4 sets felt strong. Good to see I haven’t lost too much strength given my limited lower body training. I think I could definitely…

Wow. I’m so sore this morning. My chest is completely destroyed. My lats and core are actually a bit sore to. I’m thinking the core from the extra explosive swings I was doing yesterday, and the lats from helping stabilize during the push-ups when my chest was starting to fail. No training today, had a bunch going on and given the state of soreness I’m in I figured I’d lay off the weights given the limited exercises I can do. Going to do some strength work tomorrow morning. Cheers. – Jade

Wow, that was a long, rough weekend. Back at it again today. Knees are hurting a lot today. Slowly narrowing down my diagnosis. Pumped, step-mom got me a Crock Pot for my birthday which is in a couple weeks. Just threw a bunch of stuff in it tonight, we’ll see how it all turns out. Solid training this evening. WOD: Met-con:For time 200 Push-upsEvery Minute on the Minute Starts with 5 60lb Dumbbell Swings 15:52 Strength/Accessory:Glute Bridges: 15, 15, 15 Training felt really good this evening. Met-con, absolutely destroyed my chest. Was definitely brutal and my chest/shoulders are still feeling it a few hours after the workout. Swings felt good and powerful, granted I wasn’t using that much weight. Glute bridges were good, and will hopefully help with my knee pain. Might do some strength work tomorrow. Cheers. – Jade
