I left work early yesterday with something or other putting the dizzies in my head and all manner of mysterious pains in my lower digestive tract. No fever, but I just had a sense of that famous Jimmah Carter word, malaise. Slept a few hours at home to try to get over it and stayed away from jusjitsu (again!) last night. Sucks. I went to bed early to see if enough rest would kick this crap out of me and it did to some degree. I woke this morning feeling a little better initially so off to the gym for lifting, but as I type this I can feel dem ole cozmic blues descending on me again.
5 minute warm up on the bike
Sumo Deadlifts:
210x5, 240x5, 275x5. My lower back was feeling a little fatigued, probably from spending so much time on it the last day or two. Thus, I didn't try for extra reps on the last set I contented myself with just showing up and doing the work.
Claw Grip:
150x5x5 PR!
Afterwards I stretched and did the foam roller. Boy, does working the IT band hurt! That must mean I am getting on top a problem before it gets too bad.
