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.

I’ve been using a 12lb MB this whole time but now I’m going to switch to an 8lb MB and focus more on making my throws out to 30yds. This will probably be the only workout I will have this week because I’m going on vacation to South Padre Island. Hopefully I can find time to run sprints on the beach and do some General Strength circuits. This is supposed to be my deload week so rest is important this week.

I forgot my track spikes at home, so I did the speed work in flats. I’m surprised that I wasn’t able to throw the 8lb MB much farther than the 12lb. I still don’t feel like I’m exerting as much force as I could be. Squats are still extremely light, but I’ve worked my way up to 225 since I started back squatting again.
Any advice on ZMA bro?? Its gonna be my first time taking it tonight. Im kind of freaked out about whats gonna happen in my dreams after reading the reviews lol.
Whats your take on it bro?
I’ve been taking ZMA for quite a while now. I haven’t noticed much from it. I have noticed that it feels easier to wake up. I’m not sure if I’ve noticed any improvements in my workouts or not though.
I wouldn’t put too much stock in wondering about what ZMA will do to your dreams. Let me know what you think of it.

Haven’t gotten very good of sleep lately. My cold is still bothering me and I’ve been waking up at 3am because I can’t breathe through my nostrils. I’m going to have to take some nyquil before bed tonight.

I introduced my lowerback muscles into massage with a baseball. I got deep enough to finally loosen those leather tight muscles. I tried to back squat to make up for my last workout but this time my knee started bothering me. I’m thinking it was from doing the Hurdle Hops on the track. I’m going to ice it and do some more deep massage on my lower back later. It really needs it.

I had to break my new cleats in so they won’t be so stiff by the time my tryout comes. The grass didn’t have very good quality. My left knee still seems to be bothered every time I do a full deep squat with weight. Its fine when I do sprints and jumps. I guess I’ll have to cut out squats for now until it feels better.
