Fatigued

11/09/2010

Last week I was feeling rough and so far this week has been about the same. It is a combination of screwy sleep patterns, stress, poor eating, and allergies.

Today's Training: A bad day of training is still better than no training at all.

3 minute LCCJ 24kg X 2: 22 reps. (I felt good through the set and maintained a steady pace)
- 3 minute rest
3 minute Jerk 24kg X 2: 33 total reps.* (I set the bells down three times during this set see above for fatigue issues)
- 4 minutes rest (maybe this will help..)
15 jerks 24kg X 2 (went for 30 not even close)
- 2 minutes of rest
5 jerks 32kg X 2 (just wanted to see)
- 3 minutes of rest
2 minutes Jerk 20kg X 2: 30 reps I pushed for the number and should have held on for time. The last few reps were ugly
- 3 minutes of rest
3 minutes Cleans 24kg X 2: 30 reps

Finished up with some holds
30 second push up hold
30 second each side plank
1 minute front plank
2 minute 32kg X 2 farmers hold (this was the only point today were I felt I could for more)

In hindsight I learned a valuable lesson today. I should have dropped the weight and stuck with the original plan. After getting burned on the second set I scrapped everything and decided to toy with my ego. I really wanted to get some long cycle work in and only ended up with one set. I was fixated on a number (30) and my patience broke, which is silly on my part.
