ONLY MY DIRECT COMPETITORS SHOULD DO THIS
AFTER 10 DAYS OF TRAVEL, I was looking forward to getting back into the routine. You know, the one that separates the wannabees...
... from the gottabees.
The Cowboy Strong stuff.
When traveling,
- push ups are easy to do
- pull ups if there is a local playground
- squats are weakly replaced with air squats
- and just plain for get doing the awesome nordics
I warmed up with some light jogging,
mixed with some side shuffles,
and jumping jacks.
Normal stuff.
The sled felt great, even with the legs still a little tender. Taking those big steps and pushing all the way through the ankle and foot was wonderful.
Shoulder presses were a little shaky towards the end.
I really feel when I skip the upper body stuff.
Squats. Sometimes, after a break, I'll drop down some lbs. Not today, and it was just fine.
Then, the nordics. I could feel the tension in my hammies. Did my 5 full reps, but something didn't feel rightw.
When I moved on to the box jump, and lowered myself to explode up...
... the right hammie was barking loud.
Dang.
Pulled muscle?
I wasn't sure, so I didn't even attempt the box.
The rest of the circuit was fine.
During a light, very light, spin this evening everything felt fine.
Still, it could have been a major set back...
... which is why I encourage all my direct competitors to skip the weights for months, then hit 'em hard...
... I need every advantage I can get.
I'm just kiddin',
be careful y'all.
Lift daily,
don't skip,
if you do, take it easy the first few days...
... because we gottabee strong to Rip On RaceDay!
