I went to the doctor after training to treat my lung infection. Took a corticosteroid shot in my ass and was prescribed an anti-biotic. So I'll take a rest day today and see how my body will respond by tomorrow. I may or may not take an extra day off tomorrow.

Slowly recovering from the illness right now. The corticosteroid (dexamethasone) that was injected in my ass yesterday is making me feel ... funky - my stress level has reduced dramatically and I feel more relaxed now. So now I have a clearer understanding of what cortisol does to my body.

Thanks. My body is adapting very quickly to the stress load, and I already can feel the difference with the improvement in the speed and the "snap" of my lifts.

I am just about through with this fucking joke of a gym. Fucking casuals and Crossfitters just walking all over my fucking platform - EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKING LIFT. What the fuck is wrong with these idiots? Just the other day, I was maxing out on a squat and there was a BABY just running amok, LEFT FUCKING UNATTENDED, just a yard or two to my left. Is this is a cultural thing, or are Crossfitters that fucking stupid? Why are people so oblivious of their surroundings? Does it fucking hurt to ask if you can cross the platform right before I'm about to perform a lift? Are they fucking aware of how it fucks with my concentration when they pull some stupidass shit like that?

Picked the wrong fucking time to quit alcohol cold turkey.

MO @ 90

Power Snatch

MO @ 110
BO @ 135 x 2 x 1 Snatch Pull, 120 x 1 x 2 from 4" riser

Squat

MO @ 200. Ghetto ass squat rack tilted on me as I was trying to rack the weight.

Prematurely stopped my training and stormed out in utter disgust. This place disgusts me. I'm sick and tired of compromising my training in order to "fit in" with this culture.

I mean, this fucking clusterfuck of a gym has a ridiculous set up. There are kettlebells and dumbbells and other shit strewn everywhere, making it hard for me to navigate around and in my platform. And the people piss me off to no end. Fucking intruding in my space and lacking proper etiquette. Such a fucking primitive, 3rd world mentality with these mental midgets. God damn it, I want to train in a proper facility - I can't make any serious gains here.

Fucked up my lower back. There was a bit of pain there prior to training, and I aggravated it.

I had to do these with caution because my lower back was hurt.

So my left wrist is still injured and my lower back gave out today. But I'm not feeling discouraged at all. I'll just focus on my upper body work for the time being.

@btwrestler119 , I'm taking a page out of your book, homeboy. Let's work on this shit together.
