Haha. Thank you Vedette
I hope so too, the doctor said that its just inflammation behind the eye. It should get better within the next day or two. This problem is happening at the wrong time, and all I can do is pray and take my Prednisone…
An update on things…
I’ve noticed some improvement in my double vision. The opthamologist says that it should go away within the next two weeks. My plans have changed though. I will not be doing summer workouts with the team. Instead I will have my walkon tryout on the first day of school which is on August 24th. I think that it is better if I do this so I can catch up on my training and have more time to prepare myself.
I have freshman orientation tomorrow so I am hoping to meet some coaches to let them know that I’m interested in walking on.
9 weeks until walk-on tryout, Phase 1

I did the squats high-bar olympic style, I feel that they may be safer for me. My health still isn’t the greatest right now though. I had a horrible headache after the workout yesterday. I also feel some head pressure when I sprint and lift heavy. It may be caused by my wisdom teeth which I will have them removed in 2 weeks.

I started to do power cleans instead of hang cleans. Then I just got nervous as hell when I had to pick the bar up from that low to the floor. I think I’ll stick with hang cleans just for safety.

I’m ready to bump the intensity level up a notch next week. I just wanted to use this week to ease back from a 4 week layoff. Doing speed work in the 110 degree heat this week was a killer, I may have to do my workouts later in the day.

I got some massage today, but I don’t think he got near deep enough because I don’t feel any different looser. I even told him to stick an elbow in me and get as deep as possible but he kept trying to convince me that he could get deeper with this palm. There goes $30…

Solid workout today. I did feel a little tight in the warmups even after getting massage yesterday. I’m getting better at doing the hang cleans, and starting to throw the Med Ball farther.
Extra Long Warmup (Jog, hip mobility drills, sprint drills, buildups)
Alactic:
2 x 80m
2 x 100m
1 x 120m
All with 4-5min recoveries
This is the first SE session I’ve had in a while. My glutes and hammies were on fire afterwards. I had a very consistent and solid week of training, and I hope for every week to be like this from now on until camp starts. However, I’m getting all four of my wisdom teeth cut out Monday so it will probably be a while before I get back to training AGAIN!
I got the wisdom teeth removed today, and the surgeon said that I should take this whole week off. 
At least I still have plenty of weeks to train when I recover.

This workout didn’t go too well. I had done some rock climbing yesterday and my hands got calloused up to where my grip suffered. It also had to be the hottest day ever. I definitely shouldn’t had done this during mid-day.

Woke up, took some L-tyrosine and ate breakfast, then 3hrs later I worked out and escaped the 100+ degree temperature. My Hang Clean technique has been weird lately. I’m struggling with the little weight I’m doing all of a sudden. It wasn’t like this 2 weeks ago.

The 60’s felt very fast today. I wish I would’ve had someone timing me. My left ham/glute feels stiff all of a sudden. I may have to consider getting some ART soon.

It was a pleasant 78 degrees outside, which is not normal here. I only did distances up to 20yds because my left ham/glute was still a little tight. The rudiment hops torched my quads and glutes. Then I found the reason why my hang clean has been so weird. It’s because my erector spinae are so tight that I’m basically standing straight up throughout the whole entire lift. Now that they were loose, I was able to have a better ROM through the lift.

Good week of training. I’m using next week as a deload week. I probably won’t be able to train as much since I’m going on a vacation with my family to South Padre Island. I’ll try to do some sprints on the beach and hopefully the hotel has a good fitness facility.
