It's a wonderful feeling to be filling out a training blog tonight! I missed the gym. I missed working hard and giving it all I had. Tonight was an exercise in knowing that giving 100% should always outweigh giving 110%. Giving all you've got, leaving everything you have on the floor and no rep unfinished is an admirable goal. Giving more than you're physically capable of doing is dangerous. I gave 110% once and look where it got me!
Tonight when I felt pain, I stopped. And I stopped k owing that I wasn't wimping out or being a turd, but I was being sensible and making sure I would be healthy enough to train another day.
Does my back hurt right now? Yes. It's sore and the muscles are tight, but the pain is nowhere like it has been. I'm listening to what my body says and I'm being honest about that with not only Justin, but myself.
So now, I'll stretch some and then sleep and let my body grow and rest before Thursday's session. I am 100% done with today and 100% proud of what I accomplished.
