Murdered That Shiiiiiittttt! Stress relief
I woke up this morning feeling horrible. Back was knotted up, I woke up at 5am then woke up every hour on the hour about till 11 or so and couldn’t get comfortable. I’m strung out over women issues, bothered, saddened, etc…not going to go there but its tough. I almost didn’t go to the gym, just felt like moping around honestly. Anyway, I took my crippled feeling ass to the gym anyway. Of course to day was leg day, the most draining of my 5 day split anyway.
I got there and went 7 minutes in the tanning bed, could’ve fell asleep and then dragged my ass to the squat rack. I don’t know what happened but after my 135lb warmup set I got in some zone. I don’t know if it was the stress or the emotion I had tied up my situation or what but I just kept throwing the weight on. 225, 315, 375, then 405…4 plates! A first for me and I did it for two reps. Most I had gone up before was 365. I probably did 10 sets on the squat rack, lol….not a norm, not advised but I was in some zone and the 2 405 reps were easy. Only went parallel but still.
My emotions are still tangled up and I’m having a hard time dealing with the situation but for that 20-30 mins or so at the gym it all went away and I just murdered that shit, cleared my mind for a while which is exactly what I needed.
I threw 7 plates on the leg press machine, did a couple sets of bb good mornings, and went up to 275 to finish with stiff deads. I defininitly overtrained today, waaaaaaayyyyyy too many sets but hell it was one of the best workouts I’ve had in a long time. There was just so much into it, beyond a workout.
I probably won’t be able to walk tomorrow but it was worth it. If I didn’t have to work I’d probably still be in there throwing up 10lb clean and press at this point of exhaustion.
