Notes: I've been incredibly sick since my meet. Got the flu really bad and was out of commission for a week. Couldn't even get to work. The past two weeks have just been a slow recovery. Finally got to training last night and I felt sooooooo rusty. Felt shaky and weak and I'm really sore today. I'm not motivated to get back into training at all. :(

Static stretching, foam rolling

Notes: Still not feeling 100%. Kept the weight pretty low for the squats but I was still getting out of breath. Very frustrating, but I know I just need to keep being consistent and I will get back where I was in no time.

Stuffed my face and then took a two hour nap after all of this.
 
Congrats on the meet and good write-up. I like the bit about where your inspiration comes from.
 
Good job at the meet and a good write-up. Hope you get well soon, flues are tough to deal with sometimes.

Lots of foam rolling and stretching.

Notes: The owner at my gym is giving me some exercises to help me progress into a split. It's one of my goals for 2014. I am so far from being able to do it right now! The stretches were incredibly painful.

Also, taking 3 weeks off has turned me into moosh. My legs are extremely sore. Like first time ever squatting kind of sore. And I only used 110 or something like that. Going to be a rough time getting back!
 
Good job at the meet and congrats on all the PRs! It looks like you're closing in on 2, 1, and 3 plate milestones for your lifts. Nice.

Thanks and yep, that's the goal! I think those numbers are coming in the next year. 3 plates on the deadlift will be the biggest challenge though.

Notes: Started Texas method today. Hopefully starting a new program will get me more motivated. Training 3x a week will be nice for a little while. I started my own private tutoring business and it's got me very busy! This schedule should work out nicely though.

Good luck with texas method!
Goon has done TM, right? If so, its great that you have someone with experience and knowledge about the program, that you can talk to, if shit starts to stall (Happened to me on TM). Will make it better and more efficient, I think!

Thanks, and yes, Goon has used it for a while. He's helping me a lot with the programming. I usually write my own stuff, but now I'm leaving it up to him. I don't completely understand texas method yet and am a little skeptical about only training 3x a week but I'll stick with it for a little while.

Notes: Had to catch up on logging. All up to date now. Texas method is going well. I like it, but made some tweaks to the benching so that it mimicked what I was doing before the program change. I'll still be doing a 5 x 5 volume day, but the heavy day I will be doing five sets of singles or doubles. One set of 5 wasn't working for me. I'm also going to start pressing on the light day instead of a 3rd day of benching.

Did lots of rolling and stretching at the end of this training session. I'm working diligently on being able to do a split soon. I'm no where near close, but I'm getting more flexible everyday.

Also, we just started buying raw milk from our local farm today. This stuff is delicious. It's very thick, tastes like heavy whipping cream. YUM!
