I've been feeling good and basing my training on how I feel on training days. As the years have gone by I've gotten better at being able judge when to push and when to pull back. I realize that last year I tore my tricep tendon and admit I should have pulled back but my focus was more on getting stronger for a meet. Hopefully that experience allows me to be a better judge of myself going forward. AND hopefully someone reading this might pay more attention to their nagging pains and alter their training before injury. There is a big difference between pulling back a little because your body is telling you too and being a p%ssy. Learning the difference between training pain and pain that indicates an increased risk of injury can be difficult but pulling back for a couple weeks is almost always better than an injury that takes months and months to recover from.
I had an obligation at work today so I wasn't able to train like normal. I went in later in the afternoon and trained solo. Here is what I did.
