What Ails Me

I hurt more nowadays. 

There, I said it. I'm not okay with the notion that I'm not as young as I used to be. I'm not okay with the idea that I can't go home, take a couple grams of fish oil and a cups scoops of ice cream and wake up at 100% in the morning. 

My knees have been aching for the past few days. Since those heavy thrusters on Monday, both knees have been pretty shaky. I've taken to wrapping them with some simple ace bandages. It holds everything in place and adds just a little stability. 

Here's the problem, I don't plan on stopping at any point. I have a mock meet tomorrow, a real weightlifting meet in 3 weekends, and then a few weeks later I have a CrossFit competition. 

I hurt more, nowadays, but I'll keep doing it. 

So Much Free Time

I've been meaning to get back into tracking my workouts, and everything else, for a while now. Luckily, I'm a bit laid up at the moment, so I have a ton of free time. 

Here's a little note, kids. Don't pull on your rower harder than you should, even if you're sprinting for 200m bursts. Because you will pull something, like I did. I think I just went a little too hard on the rower with some bad form and ended up loosening up something in my rib cage. The next day's session had me doing some weird lateral movements which caused that loosened up rib stabilizer to tighten up. 

And here I am, on the couch, prepping a workout blog. Lucky me.
I'll be back in the gym on Monday, should be good by then. Which is necessary, as I have a competition in 30 days. I really need to get back into a micro-cycle for my weightlifting.
