Nov. 12th, 2014 07:40 amI’m super pleased that I set a new PR on overhead press - 155. Yay for PR.
I’m at work and have to buckle down - but that’s good. I think there is a bell curve relationship between crazy and work. Work too little and you wallow around like a tween where you think your feelings are important, and you boil in the mysteries of existence. Work, be engaged, and the self-important existential angst all but vanishes. I’m at work, I feel burdened, but I have purpose
I'm also mostly gym happy. I am doing bench doubles at 225 regularly - the entire reason I went to olympic lifts and strength training free weights was for the silly-ass bench. 225 was my goal and sticking point, and I'm not far past it, but I am past it. Yay.
Importantly my hip pain is still greatly reduced. I did 275 for 5 on squoot, and I really hit pain at the top of 5 so I bailed on any volume work, but at the same time I was really using both legs, and made it all the way through the warmup with hardly any pain. This sings a lot more like problem 100% identified, which means time and turmoil be damned, there is a potential solution. Sucks far less, this problem that may be solved.
I hit PT tomorrow.
But now work - I have plenty to do. Did I mention 155 OP?
