Feeling ok today. I stopped the deadlifts last night, not going for the last one in the last set. Left it at 4 not 5. I did finish the rest of the accessories bar a few squat sets, just didn’t feel like it. I pushed through the give up hump and was pleased to get as far as I did. My deadlift has dropped drastically since my injury, but I’m learning to deal with that and accept that, at 46, I’m probably in the minority that can lift over 100kg. But the point is not about strength it’s about flexibility, and agility, and though I expected to be sore this morning, I’m actually ok. Feel good in fact, sprung up from one of my floor stretches this morning.
Last night I got an excellent sleep, thank you BB, from about 10:00 till 5:45 and then had a snooze until 6:00. I needed that. I also had a shower before bed and felt refreshed, relaxed, tired and satisfied (workout, bit of writing, reading done). What a rest! And I need to recognise my body needs that more than ever and it’s ok to let go the heavy weight, occasionally relax, have a bath and listen to some Kenny G. Maybe not the latter.
