For whatever reason I've been super motivated to train over the past three weeks. I mean I've been doing two WODs more or less a day 4 days a week. Really I have been trying to increase my endurance as well as shed a few pounds off so I've added a row almost every night that I work out which is typically 4-5 days a week, taking the weekend off.
Well, yesterday I finally hit a little bottom and decided to call if good for a few days..It mentally sucks when your motivated by the results you get from CrossFit and you have to shut it down..But, you do sometimes and I knew it was time yesterday because when I went to squat a 5x5 I got to 285# and my hamstrings told me to screw-off.. In fact what they specifically said was "F*** You, I Quit!" and I had to dump the weight..
I've never had that happen to my hamstrings but they knotted up pretty good so I chilled out and didn't row my regular 2k last night.
All that leads me to say, TAKE A REST DAY, Jamie...
Speaking of rest days, I have been fortunate to get to workout every day in Guyer High School which is just across the street from my office..The coaches and staff have been amazing letting me lift there and man do they have a nice set up for lifting (see the photo). Now that school is out I'm not sure whats going to happen with me working out there but hopefully they will keep it open some for the athletes and I can still get in.. Guess we'll see..
