• General: Good day today. I originally planned to test my 1rm bench but for some reason it was really painful benching. I think it had to do with the ice plunge I took yesterday and my muscles still being really tight from it. For whatever reason the dumbbell's made it not hurt so I decided to do that. I'm hoping it helps me transition into benching next week and makes me less sore once I begin my new template. The metcon was good but might've been a bad idea as I wanted to test my 1rm deadlift on Friday and this may tax me a bit too much.
• Nutrition: Paleo-ish w/ milk, whey and had croutons and dressing earlier.
• Body: Inner thighs, biceps, triceps, and chest were all tight. Nothing really sore though which is nice.
• Sleep: 8.5 hours
• Reflections: I'm going to start being more specific on my diet each day so that I can reflect as the weeks go by as to what's working and what isn't on the long term. On a good note, I'm in love with the new gym I'm joining. I'll be getting a 6 month membership starting friday and that will be my first day working out there. The owner told me straight up I'd learn so much stuff on how to get strong from some of the smartest people in powerlifting. There are 4 people who go regularly who held a world record at one point in their lives. Needless to say I can't wait. Tomorrow I will be doing some light stuff to make sure I'm ready to max out on Friday, but it won't be a rest day by any means.
