December Memoirs

1st December 2013
National GPC Push/Pull

2nd December 2013
Living in the aftermath of a comp that didn't go too well. I feel deflated but only too happy for people who hit new PR's and Records.
I can't change a bad competition but can only put it behind me and move forward.
All my injuries held together on comp day but today I felt soreness in the left chest/shoulder, disappeared after my run.

Cardio
Went for a walk/run today. Sun was stinging hot at 17:30pm.
2.50kms at 9.11km/hr average.

Diet
Back to tracking every macro vs activity. Hard after a big weekend of big eating but I'd like to get my weight to 54kgs.
I will wait for my bloat to go before registering a new body weight.

3rd December 2013
I had my last shoulder/chest physio session today. Kylieann checked my upper body mobility and pain tolerance and it's almost back to normal.
I raised concerns about hip/lower back mobility and after checking flexion in a few directions, somehow my right side has almost lost all flexibility.  I couldnt raise my right leg past 90º.
I have no idea how one side seizes up. After about 1/2hr work my remaining problem was in the adductors and getting the knees to open out. I have prescribed stretches and will go back in a week.
Hammies, glutes, adductors - you are my nemesis!

December is such a shitty month for any sort of consistent training. Christmas is at my place this year and I need to start the arduous task of dismantling the Muscle Motion Power rack and moving everything back inside (at least it's air conditioned now!) I much prefer training outside but Im getting a layer of clear put down on my slab under the pergola so it looks pretty for Christmas Day!

Going to continue with Conjugate Method.
Working on 1rm's of
Squat: 105kg
Bench: 57.5kg
Deadlift: 133kg

Eating alot at the moment.
Going on holidays.
Going to make mobility a priority.

I haven't been lifting too much this month but have been keeping up the cardio sessions. Eating at maintenance calories. December is just too hectic!

Had a deload session today.
3 x 8 @ 50% of main lifts.
