Oops.

I intended on two wods today...a morning deadlift session and evening metcon.

I was not anticipating three!
And to be honest, I'm fit enough that three isn't too much of a problem.  However, when all three wods are 90% posterior chain loads, well...thats a whole different beast.

     I was a little late getting into the Y this morning, so speed deadlifts and assistance work (planned) turned into speed deadlifts and shower.  Worked up to 3 at 315, then 6x5 at 245.  Felt great, honestly.  Little twinge in the right knee, but just leftover junk from leg presses.
    So then I get to work and discover that my friend Hilton was back for a couple of weeks, and he wanted to go to the Y during lunch, and he wanted to do some sort of "cardio" because he "needed to work off the double-fisted beers on the boat from this weekend."  So we had a little fun with the Ergs and did today's mainsite WOD.  4 500m rows with 3 minutes rest between each.  Kept them all to 1:40-1:45 rather than busting for 1:30, mainly because the deadlifts from a few hours ago were still laughing at me.
    Apparently Hilton didn't enjoy that enough though, because at 3:30 he messages me asking if I want to run after work.  I really need to learn to say no.  That honestly might have been 4 of the worst miles I have ever run.  There was absolutely no gas left in my hamstrings or calves, and the glutes were definitely complaining the whole time.
 
    Silly Aaron.  You're gonna regret all that tomorrow!  I've already made an executive decision that tomorrow will NOT be a back squat day, or front squat day, or any day involving load on the legs.  IF I can get out of the bed tomorrow morning it will be a press day.

     Nutrition is good though.  I've seriously cut down on the carb intake because they are really quite unnecessary.  I've been eating higher protein and higher fat percentages, and it took me a bit to get used to it. I was reading an article on making the switch though, and something he said really clicked.  You always feel fatigued and weak when you first switch the diet because its like a bunch of Ford employees showing up at the factory and told they are making iPads.  Your body is in chaos and confusion because most of our lives we have been raised on high-carb diets, and our enzymes aren't adjusted to breaking down proteins and fats. So it takes a bit to get used to, but once your body does make the keto-adjustment, burning fats is primary source of energy.  Fun fact of the day...this is what I've been reading about all afternoon.  Good stuff!
