Deload Week

heyooo!

Still deloading, feeling a bit better today. Had some solid sleep last night. Pitch black room, no electronics blinking I usually wake up before my alarm feeling nice and fresh.

Lets get to it.

Static Stretch - 15 minutes - spoke to Professor Butler, allstar physical therapist. He is pointing that people need about 15 minutes of end range stretching per day to get more flexible, so what do I do? Stretch my hips for 15 minutes

Dynamic warmup - I put some cutting edge cardio into my warmup (jump rope) between exercises. Adds about 5 minutes to the warmup. Every time I gain some weight my blood pressure ends up following suit(is that spelled correctly?). So I thought I'd add in a bit more cardio in hopes of saving my blood pump.
Band Bird dogs 2 x 15/side
Band X-walk 2 x 12/side

I just really played around a lot today. today is usually deadlift and farmers/yoke so I wasn't doing them. Instead I did human flags and handstand crap for a long time. I've got some new tricks up my sleeve, you may find me on america's got talent at some point(the gag reels).

I'm a mother lover, you're a mother lover, we should love each other's mothers.

wow, today I really felt terrible. Didn't sleep last night studied all weekend. Had an exam today, 2 the rest of the week and three the next. Needless to say I am Pizumped.

On an awesome note. My 12" log came in today from Pitbull. I did a few reps and boy ya, it hit me in all the right places. My shoulders were hurting(not in a good way), back hurt and even my knee a little. Definitely an ergonomic piece of equipment!

Deload week, perfect timing. No overhead pressing or deadlifts - shorter workouts

Dynamic warmup - didn't stretch for a day and could feel it, pretty lame.
