I took a layoff from lifting Sunday and will do so tomorrow as well just to catch up on some recovery here. I slept so hard and deep last night I managed to overcome my wake up at O-dark 30 programming and overslept for over 9 hours of time in the rack. A clear signal I needed it, but it screwed me for my morning GXP. So I used my lunch hour for it, something I haven't done since I started this log. Finished off with a very abbreviated session of stretching.
A review of Wendler's 5/3/1 book indicates that he recommends Max PR efforts at 3-4 cycle intervals. This translates to 12-16 weeks per PR attempt. I have done several at 8 week intervals so I guess I'm lucky to have done this well so far. Well, no more of that for a while. My next shot at a PR will be in late winter or early spring. Time for some patience and self discipline here if I want to keep making progress, even if at a slower rate than I would like.
In spite of the sleep, I am still dragging a little today, so it's highly likely I'll forego jujitsu tonight and save my energy for the big kids class tomorrow. God knows we'll need all the adults there we can get to keep the savage hordes in check. The forearms are feeling OK from the bashing they got on Saturday and although still a little tired, my back is still feeling solid and the crushing fatigue and owwieness reported over the weekend are dissipating.
