WS4SBIII- ME Lower

chubbie — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 12:11:46 +0000

Jesus H. Christ! What do I have to do not to pull muscles?

I held myself back on the DLs. 5×3 with 365 was easy. I even went light on the following supplemental work.

On my 4th and last set of lunges, I pulled my left quad. Same type of pull as my right adductor three weeks ago. Felt and heard it pop. Ouch!

I don’t understand why these pulls are happening. I am eating a lot better. Warming up with dynamic and static work. Doing post workout stretching. I added in conditioning/recovery days. My technique is pin-point accurate. I added a Deload Week. WTF???

Am I over-training? Do I need to take something away? Add something in? WTF???

I know my RoM and Mobility is still way below adequate. I will try to bring this up more. (But that was my original goal when I decided to do some unequipped training. WTF???)

Sumo DL- off 100 lb plates(This was easy. Did not push it hard due to right adductor pull. Adductor felt fine and strong.):

WS4SBIII- ME LOWER- DELOAD

chubbie — Tue, 27 May 2008 21:24:13 +0000

Deloading is so hard for me. I have a hard time taking it easy. Hopefully, this will help get me back to full strength faster though.

WS4SBIII- RE UPPER

chubbie — Wed, 21 May 2008 22:18:35 +0000

Warmed up. I am really not used to all this RE work. My conditioning sucks. I am good for 1-2 sets then I am just spent. My CNS got used to only doing 1-3 reps. Just have to be patient and it will get better. I also decided to not use chalk/wrist wraps/wrist straps/belt today. This proved to be brutal on my grip strength. I can do more reps/weight when I use this stuff. Mentally noted.
