3/14/10 - Hang Cleans and Romanian Deadlifts

251.4

Strength:
Romanian Deadlifts
Hang Cleans


Food:
Skirt Steak Burrito from Ooba's
Tall Latte with 1% milk
popcorn
1/2 Ribeye steak

Yesterday's workout at LAF got cut short a bit. I wanted to work on hang cleans and then do some rowing as well, but I got there too late and ran out of time. Going to try and go again tonight. When I go to LAF, I'm always tempted to work on squats, but on Friday I did Front Squats at Stoneway so I'm thinking Tuesday night might be a good day to do a Back Squat workout.

Update: Couldn't get myself to go back to LAF after all. I'm learning to listen to my body in these circumstances so today turned into another rest day. I'll have to try and get the hang cleans and RDLs in later this week - maybe tomorrow.

I'm starting to really learn the value of consistency. Intensity is also hugely important, but if you aren't bringing that intensity on a consistent basis - day to day, week to week, month to month, and year to year - you just aren't going to get anywhere. Also, there are limits to how much you can work out in a given day or week. You can't take a month off and then just try to make it up the next month by working out twice as much. It simply doesn't work that way. Your muscles won't react well to that.
