Didn’t train today. Didn’t get a chance to get into the gym, not time today. So going to give my knees a break from squatting and explosive work for a couple of weeks. Advice from a PT I’m friends with was to stretch, stretch, stretch, and work on building ham and glute strength. I’m going to work that into my training for the next couple of weeks and see if it helps. Going to get a solid workout in tomorrow morning. Cheers. – Jade.

Feeling great this morning. Had another damn slip up at work with the food. This one should really help me stay off the non-paleo food as I got sick off the stuff. Couldn’t do the workout I originally programmed, but got a solid workout in regardless. WOD: Strength:Speed Deadlift: 225×3, 3, 3, 3, 3 Met-con:3 rounds for time:100ft 25lb Overhead Walking Lunges500m Row10 Ring Dips400m Run 19:20 Solid workout. Speed deadlifts are similar to the speed squats I did a couple of weeks ago. Designed to help develop power. Goal is to rip the bar off the floor as fast as possible. Felt good and strong on those. Met-con was tough. I had to pull over and puke twice. The food I had at work was not digesting to well, and this was 2.5 hours after eating. I’m feeling pretty shitty right now,…

Rest day today. Chest is a bit sore, other than that feeling pretty good. Picked up another rower today…for free. It’s old school, a Model A. Went to buy it and the computer wasn’t working so the guy just gave it to me. Got the computer fixed and all seems good to go for the time being. Fixed the computer with a paper clip, so I imagine at some point it’s going to need to be fixed properly or replaced. Cheers. – Jade

Still incredibly sore in my calf area this morning. I’ve actually had a bit of soreness creep into my lats as well. Felt overly tired today and did a bunch of extra sleeping as today is pretty much just a homework day for me. Couldn’t do my programmed WOD because of the state my hands were in. Should hopefully be able to do it on Monday. Because of my torn up hands I was a bit limited on what I could do, so no high intensity stuff, just some basic strength work. WOD:Back Squat: 135×5, 185×5, 5, 5, 5 HSPU: 2 Steel 45lb Plate Depth x 5, 5, 5 GHD Hip Extension: 12, 10, 10 Bench Press: 135×5, 195×3, 185×4 Did the squats today to see what happens with my knees. I went with lighter weight and really focused on form, and the…

So sore this morning. Surprisingly my entire upper body feels fine, but my calves and all the surrounding tendons are screaming in pain from the running. Worked on doing POSE running, and this is the first time running in my Nike Free shoes. I may have been a little heavy on the ball of my foot, but regardless I’m sore. Shows the big weakness there though. It does suck though as it is currently pretty painful to walk. Otherwise feel great this morning. Knees are now currently hurting pretty badly. This whole knee thing has been pretty discouraging, and it is putting a damper on my training both physically and mentally. If it continues into next week I’m taking time off from all lower body training. WOD: Met-con:“Grace” For Time30 Clean + Jerk 135lb 8:23 Strength:Strict Pull-up: 10Calf Raises: 115×25, 25, 25 So…
