Due to various reasons I have to string three days of training together. I don't like doing that because I just start getting a little run down. The alternative is not training and that's no alternative at all.
I will say though, although I am feeling beat up, my body is feeling healthy. There is a difference. My back, hips, and shoulders are doing great. It's all that extra little work I keep telling you all about. It adds up. I guess I should be better about documenting it all, but if you are a loyal reader you know I'm always doing something extra.
Legs are beat up from the abundance of lower body work in the past week. Bench felt good. It was light with my top set only being 315. I completely changed my form to protect my back, hips, and shoulder. I don't feel it's an optimal setup for strength, but it is for longevity. So be it. I stopped the top set for 10. I could have had more, but I made a decision to not push any top set past 10 reps.
The reason I am not going to push myself to the brink anymore is because I made a promise that I would try not to hurt myself for a year. That's a tall order for my dumb ass. Instead the plan is to accumulate strength rather than constantly test it. Sound good at the very least.
