ME Overtrain

Completely wiped from the highland games yesterday and being overtrained. Cut the volume intentionally. Had a nasty headache through most of this, which got to the point of nausea. awesome.

Band-lightened Squat:

w/ greens

315 x infinity @ -10

405 x 5, 8, 5, more? @ 7

Did some plyos, calf raises and ball bridges.

FE Deadlift

Deadlift:
453 x f, 1

CNS was gone. This has happened before, which happened about the same time after doing a meet and then training hard. This time I think the GMoP last week did me in.

GMoP:
315 x 3
335 x 5
345 x 4

Lower back actually started hurting, so I stopped.

Cleans:
133 x 5
183 x 3, 2

Dead as expected, but hey - this is more reps that I got last week when I was really dead.

Finished with some hamstring curls and banded hyperextensions and then called it a day.

Overtrained

Power snatch above knees 67/4 x 2, 77/2 x 4
Clean and jerk 102/2 x 4
Jerks 102/3 (was supposed to get 4 sets but just couldn't bring myself to do it)

Skipped clean pulls and squats

Yesterday
Basketball with Nathan for 2 hours. Sweated like a gallon of water.
Rock Band. Also with Nathan. Played the drums. Felt the burn.

Back feels 100% better and surprisingly quads feel great. Glutes and hamstrings feel like hell and will barely let me pull the bar off the ground or squat deep. I'm going to cut tomorrow's volume too so I don't make a fool of myself Saturday when I test my lifts.

Not a big deal about missing/cutting volume because I feel like the last few weeks have setup a pretty strong base for the next cycle.
