Track mostly good, 50m was shit though. Squats, at the end of 1st set I mucked up / struggled replacing the weights on the pins and had to do more than just placing them there. I must have slightly strained my lats around T8-11, I didnât notice it at first but did during / after the second set so decided to stop. It was more a dull tightening than anything else and I donât think it is really that bad. I did some RDLs to give it a bit of a stretch and they were fine. Noticed a decided lack of ROM on stretches and rested on the floor with ice packs for 30 minutes after that. As I have said I really donât think it is a major and should be back to normal in a few days.

as expected my back is recovering very quickly. Was quite stiff first thing but once I got up and about got better. I expect it will be good as gold in a few days.

biked at 7.30am and weights at 5.30pm. Have been using my âstandardâ foam roller 3 times pw and used my new Thera Roll http://www.aokhealth.com/xq/ASP/ProductID.1385/qx/product.htm for the first time after bike ride. âŚWOW!!! I didnât whimper like a girl the whole time. :o
I seen this in pics and the net, would you say Itâs a good foam roll? How would you rate it compared to the regular round one?
Do you also have the Ball with Spikes? http://www.aokhealth.com/xq/ASP/CategoryID.160/qx/category.htm
The ball i have is made from Hard Plastic, and not foam - too hard to use the 1st few times, but after your muscles settle a bit, it works nice. I recon the Foam would be much better.
Definitely worth the $40 or for it (including postage from Aus).
Compared to a regular roller? Hmm well you know that first time you used a roller and went ouch that hurts (well I did :p) I would say this is about 1.5 X that and I use my regular roller 3 times pw.
No donât have the ball with spikes.

recovery week starts tomorrow. Not sure if I have said I do those vegetarian.
Try this: load yourself with vitamins for one days. Use some glutamin if you have one. Spread vitamins and glutamin (even whey is a good source of glutamin) into almost every one of your 6 meals you have over the day (I assume you have). In the evening get yourself a pizza and eat it just before going to bed. Put two pyjamas on or a hot sweater over one and you should wake up feeling much better. Trust me, it works great for me.
Iâm reading your journal constantly. Just keep it up.
Sorry for late reply. Not sure, as it wanât my idea in the first place. My guessing would be bunch of calories, especially carbohydrates that are released over time â so a powerful fuel for the body over the night.
