My body is feeling beat up.  I don't sleep enough and I don't eat consistently.  Instead of powering through and losing motivation I opted for a deload week.  It actually works out well.  Starting next week I'll have 6 weeks until Thanksgiving break.  So, I'll get in a nice 6 week cycle, rest over break and then have 2 weeks until the NOV Meet at Wendler's.

Monday: Bodyweight Circuit

  • Dips: 5x10
  • Pull-ups: 5x5
  • KB Swings: 5x10 each arm

Tuesday: Conditioning

  • 1 mile walk with weighted vest

Wednesday: Bodyweight Circuit

  • Treadmill: 20 minutes
  • Dips: 5x10
  • Pull-ups: 5x6
  • RFESS: 5x5 each
  • KB Farmer's Walk: 1 trip around the weight room

Thursday: Conditioning

  • 1 mile walk with weighted vest

I made the right decision because I already feel better.  I've made an effort to get into bed 30 minutes earlier than usual this week.  I'm still spent, but that's about right for this time of year.

I'm already looking forward to getting back under the bar on Monday, so my goal was achieved.  I'll keep this train rolling.
