It was just a sweet little circuit. What the hell could possible be wrong with that? If you don't understand by now that the simple things are usually what get me, then you haven't been paying attention, my friend. I'm fairly certain I died 2.5 times trying to do this.
I thought it would be a good idea to work on my conditioning because, well, it sucks. Clearly. My goal was to do each round with minimal rest, which I accomplished. You know what else I accomplished? Massive cramps in my lower back. Oh they were awesome; real beauties. It felt like a belt of twisted muscle wrapped around me in a loving embrace. At one point, I dropped to the deck like a dead bug trying to stretch it out. Yeah, I was out on my deck, in the wide open, visible to all. I hope the neighbors enjoyed it.
I knew that it wasn't going to be a stellar showing, but I had no idea that my body would be so stressed from yesterday. I hadn't really experienced much soreness today. I figured I'd wrap the 'ol knees and be on my way. The whole back cramp thing was a total surprise. I'm just resting right now and it's better. I don't think that I can put it off any longer - the Chiropractor is getting a call tomorrow.
Even though my performance was distressingly bad, I'm not giving up. I want to keep doing KB stuff on our 3 rest days. Maybe not the same circuit over and over, but something. There's a crap load of KB circuits and movements so I'll have plenty of ways to embarrass myself and entertain my neighbors. If you're in the area, stop by and make sure I'm not dead, or have a laugh. Maybe both.
