This week of training f'ing rocked! I was able to get back to squatting and deadlifting without really missing a beat. I dropped the numbers back a bit from where I was when I started this program seven weeks ago, but not by much. Meanwhile I had increased either the weight or the reps on all the assistance exercises. When all was said and done from that first week I beat my OHP time by right under 15 minutes, the Squat by more than 8 minutes, and the Deadlift by just short of 10 minutes. Now that's what I call progress. In addition I have been doing my couch to 5k work. Tuesday was my first straight run for 25 minutes and I just about freaked out. The intervals have been four minutes the past week or so and I panicked about two minutes in. I thought I don't know if I can do this. Then I realized I had already run for longer than that and I was just being a complete wuss. Once that was over, I just chugged along. Rehab, recovery, and diet are on point. I'm eating well and sleeping well which are the two most important things. With all the work I have been doing I reintroduced contrast showers to my program. I'll probably be doing them daily. If you look at all the extra work I have been doing whether it's stretching, interval training, grip training, etc I will really need to stay on top of recovery. So far so good!
