I will not hold back
Today's work felt good, but now ready for some recovery. I still cannot believe that I thumb ripped from those cleans yesterday! New knurling. deep, errrg! Plus after weighing the bar, I was heavy by almost 10 lbs on my weight, which is the good news!
Early swim of a few relays with the kids. I was feeling yesterdays cleans or was it squats or maybe a little of both. Good feeling though not feeling too sore as I am re-entering my flow. Post work today ... enjoying the Olympic opening ceremony but I am ready for a good night of sleep.
Nutrition Note: Gut feeling a little swollen, not sure what fired me up earlier in the day. I was hungry pre-workout but the thought of food in my stomach while being upside down was not appealing. Home a little late, so lighter meal of turkey over herb salad and beets w/some left over sweet potato. Let's see how that settles.
