So over the course of Sunday I progressed from "sore" to "hurt"....now I wake up Monday morning and can barely walk - left leg hurts like a bitch! There is a sharp pain at the very top of the leg in the front, very painful trying to walk up stairs this am....can't really lift the left leg...

This sucks, hope it goes away soon....
 
Monday 11/22

Rested my leg through the AM + Motrin & Ice.

Took the dog on a slow 1/2 mile walk.

More Motrin + Ice + Jacuzzi in the evening.

Starting to feel better...

Had to stay off my leg for about a week. Luckily it was during Thanksgiving so didn't mess with work. Been travelling & working, haven't done shit for workouts in a couple of weeks, plus leg has been slow to heal.

I think I screwed up my IT band somehow on the outside of my left leg, as well as a groin pull. At any rate, it's at about 85% right now, so I went to BJJ tonight.

Excellent workout, minimal pain from the leg. But I did notice some mild pain & limited range of motion with the left leg. Hopefully it will continue to improve.

Stretched after I got home, jacuzzi in a few...

Had a tough day at work today and then a rough night at Jui-jitsu as well..

Went for 2.5 hours, 2 classes + 30 minutes of sparring. I think I was a little off due to to muscle soreness from yesterday, but felt like I got tapped by pretty much everyone in the gym. Hmmm...may have actually had something to do with the pink floyd concert last night....

But in the end, I got my 2nd stripe at blue belt. Not sure why, I really thought I sucked but I guess I'll take it :-)

Super sore & tired right now. Just had a big glass of milk & I'm waiting on the Jacuzzi to heat up.

Have a mtg at 10am this morning, so no time for assistance work, but at least I got some lifting in...
 
12/15 PM

1 Hour no-gi BJJ + 30 minutes sparring. Worked on attacks from the back.

Pretty sore today but loosened up nicely. Then sprawled awkwardly trying to avoid a single leg & landed on 1 kneecap. Kept going, but it was numb-ish for the rest of the night. Am icing it now...don't think its too bad.

Had to squeeze the workout in between meetings...knee has a deep bruise & is sore to the touch, but not injured...

12/18

Saw Tron last night...not bad :-)

lower back very tight this am, got up around 8am, tooled around the house, waited until about noon to start warming up for squats, but still tight. Did an extended warmup:

WARMUP:
20 jumpingjacks
10 bodyweight squats/stretches
10 pushups
20 jumpingjacks
10 bodyweight squats/stretches
10 pushups
14 hip cirlces
20 trunk twists
20 swaying trees
20 leg swings (10 each leg)
20 side leg swings
20 crunches
20 elbow-to-opposite-knee crunches (each side)

Back was still tight, so I slathered a bunch of icy-hot on it & started squatting.

SQUATS
5x45
5x120
5x150
3x180
5x195
5x225
10x255 <-- New PR!!

No assistance today. I guess this is no assistance week, have to take my youngest daughter Christmas shopping. Should be fun :-)
 
Squat Form Check - 255x10, 12/18/2010

If you look at my old squat form videos from October, this is a HUGE improvement. I think my depth still needs a little work. IMO, some of these reps are good, some maybe not quite deep enough. I just need to focus on getting it deep when I'm doing them.

Still working on it...

Barbell Curlz

Ate a lot and got a lot of rest this weekend. Was really feeling great last night & this morning, so totally looking forward to working out this am. Then I almost screwed it up because I didn't eat enough breakfast. I had a single helping of oatmeal...that's not enough.

Before my last 2 sets of SOHP, I was shaking & feeling very low-blood sugar. I went to the kitchen, ate a banana, some crackers & had some Orange Juice. Came back & finished the workout.

Followed the workout up with a big glass of milk + protein powder & a Peanut Butter & Honey Sandwich. Will eat again in a couple of hours.
