Last week I learned a couple of things. First, planning things out works a lot better when you actually do it. And second, I have a love/hate relationship with rubber bands.
Week five was probably my least consistent week as far as nutrition goes. The first four weeks were great because I got things done at the beginning of the week and made things ahead of time, so that I had things ready when they were needed. I procrastinated a lot this past week, so I often found myself improvising or picking things up here and there.
The rubber bands? On Thursday we did max effort press work with our medium resistance bands. The bands make things super hard in about the last six to eight inches of the press (the lockout). I always feel weak with pressing movements to begin with, so the addition of the bands makes me feel flat out useless....and weak....etc. As much as I hate them, you've got to love the challenge and the pay off! (Chris thinks I might actually take the bands out for Valentine's Day...but I think we'll just stay "friends")
I'm excited about tonight. Instead of one on one training, I'll be joining Chris and his Monday night Strongman group at Catalyst and going for a max effort deadlift. Expect big numbers!
