Got up at 4:30am and tried to complete some work before going into work. I weighed 178 1/4 lbs which was a real welcomed surprise considering my yesterday's Easter potluck gluttony. Not having any thing to eat after 4pm probably helped. Today I am fairly sore in my left knee, left shoulder and right elbow. The KB demonstration to the HS kids yesterday was much more intense than I thought and coming the day after a very heavy workout took its toll. Also the temperature here in New England is back in the teens this morning which has a tendency to exacerbates joint soreness. As a result, this is a "non-active" rest day, i.e., I don't do anything but ice, massage and joint mobility.
Joint Mobility:
SuperJoints
That's it .. not even a single Pull-up! Wow! that was a stretch .. I just glued a gold star to my forehead.

Whew, glad you made it though today's session. Those non-active rest days can be brutal!! =)
That was some session with the 32kg TGUs. The rest is well earned. I just started using a 32kg on Sunday and I will be using it for multiple reps only in my dreams for the time being.
howie,
Yes, its indeed MENTALLY brutal .. every time I walk by my dear Kay 'Till Belle, all I can hear is
"Please kind sir, pick me up and take me for a whirl?"
Ahhh ... and so curvaceous, but alas I decline the enticing offer knowing that restraint is an essential part of the training cycle.
martin,
Thanks! And so very nice of you to stop by!
I believe your dreams will be quite short lived as they will be replaced by you multi rep-ing that 2 pood-er very soon ... bet on it.
