So this week has not been a great training week for me so far. Monday morning was off to a bad start already; I had to call the session early, my back was really sore and I couldn't support much weight in a front squat. Tuesday's work out did not nearly go how i wanted it to. I had a very bad night of sleep the night before but i don't think that affected it much. Then i was planning to do the PM session and instead i fell asleep, without meaning to, for over 3 hours in the middle of the afternoon. I was stressing out about missing the PM session, but I took that as a sign to rest my body. I had a pretty bad headache all day, and I feel like I might be getting sick but i am really hoping to just pass this off. Anyways this all is enough to make me feel like I'm in a slump. I just need to get well and refocused.

AM - sub 7 min tester
"Open 12.5"
116... after reviewing the video, my pull ups were good, but the set of 15 thrusters is where i fell apart. it took me way too long, felt like i couldn't catch my breath, did 3 sets of 5... but i did the 18 thrusters unbroken (and all other sets were unbroken too aside from 15s). this also took me over an hour to get going. i had a headache and just wasn't really feeling it, but overall disappointed in the score, it is only 3 reps better than when i did 12.5, really had higher expectations for myself :(

resting up tomorrow and hoping for a better friday!
We all feel like that every now and then Chelsea. Definitely not in a slump, the PR train has been chuggin away lately. Also saw your 155x3 snatch video and you looked strong. Like you stated, just a sign to get a little more rest this week and you'll be good as new.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this one. Last week was forced rest for three days. Came back strong this week.
