Block 8, Wave 3 - DL

Training today was scheduled based on taking a break from studying for a double final practical in ther-ex and modalities.  This was also the 3rd heavyish training day in a row and I feel worn out physically and mentally and finals don't really kick in until Monday next week.  As such, I took it a little easier on my supplemental and accessory exercises, but training really helped me feel better overall since I had been sitting and studying for much of the day.  I'm going to ease up on the stress I'm putting on myself with training for the next week until I finish up fall semester.  It's funny because Joe Schillero's presentation on mental health from this past weekend at RMU is running through my head as I type this.  If you ever get the chance to hear him speak about this, I highly recommend it since much of what he covers applies to some degree to almost all athletes, strength or otherwise.  Until you get to hear him in person, you can check out his articles on the subject here on elitefts.com.
