You could probably say the heavy squats only using 10 lb dumbbells is pretty hyperbolic. However, it could be said the 10's are exponentially heavier than using nothing as I have been doing. My legs are actually really sore. Yep, that's pathetic, but I'll own it.
The assistance was equally unheavy. I am adding in the dumbbell rows to get that range of motion back in my back. Slowly stretching and strengthening seems to be going a long way with my psoas, so I am going to take that route with my upper back as well. Stir the pot was a really great core exercise. I'm glad I found that one.
So, my body is still feeling pretty good from benching with my legs down on Friday. Constantly doing the little things is adding up. I have to stay on top of this crap especially being just a little over a month out from my meet.
We got more snow here on the Northeast. I love it. I shoveled my big butt off on Sunday morning. I will gladly count that as conditioning. I actually like doing it. I think it's because for many years I couldn't because Jess thought I would drop dead.
