The Cubs game sounds awesome!! Enjoy it while you can Luv baby... time to buckle down soon, eh? Yes, Nationals is right around that time... 12 weeks or so. The girl who placed second in the LWs last year at Nats just won her Pro Card at the North Americans, so the LW field has opened up quite a bit...
Awesome Rip Baby how has the training went this summer?
Yeah it was cool first time I did the roof top thing and man would not wanna do it any other way now! Really easy in and out and no fighting the big crowd in the park.
Yes have buckled down, steak and veggies tonight. Lots of crystal lite too. Am very pissed though about my work out today. last week was leg pressing and on my last heavy set i felt a slight strain in my LT hip, upper quad area, so I stopped the set short and finished up a light few sets of hack squats felt no pain and post work out was fine. Well today I pretty much forgot about that cause no pain and felt good. Did some one leg extensions to warm up and started squatting. 135, 185. 225, 315 i felt a very slight strain there again!! So I stopped and did not feel any pain but was worried. Should have stopped then. So i dropped down to 135 again to see how it felt and it was OK so I did 225 and could feel a bit of instability but nothing too bad. Then I figured try 275 see how that feels. Was really staying strict and concentrating keeping everything in line and on rep 12 I felt a major painful pull/strain, lucky I did not have to dump the bar I barely made it up. I knew I injured myself as I felt my body rush with adrenaline and cortisone, kind of that mild shock feeling.
This has happened to me two times before been a while though and it took well over a month to get back up even close to 100% I should have known better and stayed at 225 today for the whole thing no more this week and next week I could have added a bit more slowly building back up a week at a time. When will I learn? Went home iced the leg took some Motrin. Hurts right now and stairs are hard to climb. Will rest it and see how it progresses hope it does not hinder me too much. Lucky my legs are my strong point cause I need to do this show for me. man so sucks getting older, you become so much more injury prone. This body has to hold together, will admit it stresses me out to think about the aging thing. I would give anything for 10 years back LOL.
Me and Little D spoke about it and she has had the same thing too, feels it the gluteus medius that is getting pulled/strained. Mine feels like that and maybe the upper part of my rectus femoris also. Very unusual to pull/tear your quad at the top though, mostly they tear near the knee. This is just another challenge to face. Not really happy about it though.
BTW Little D did the masters nationals and did very well for her first outing she got 3rd and a second i believe we plan to start training legs this winter together so hopefully we will have some fun and get some cool pics up. She wants to bring her legs up and knows Luv can help her
Hell it will help me too, that girl is serious!!
