a case of mental flatulence

Although I slept hard without getting up much, I was still very tired during the day. The testing of my 1RM DL last night took ALOT out of me. Weight: 175.25 lbs. Yep, this should have been a total rest day .. but it was not to be.

Z-Health R-Phase

I did a real dopey thing today at lunch,hence the blog title. After reading Fawn's thoughtful comment on DL alignment principles, I decided to drive home and try them on my 1RM of 225 lbs! No cycling up like last night ... just get right to it and maybe throw on another 20 lbs or so.

HAH! .. yeah, right. Although I did warm-up with a lot of Z drills and a set of heavy double swings, the fargin bar only moved an 1/16". I tried again and the same thing happened. I took off 30 lbs and did two singles, scraped my left shin with the bar and realized the tank was completely empty. I was just too dad-gum tired and stubborn-headed ... usually a deadly combination. Fortunately, before I did something even dumber, I had flash of sanity and drove right back to work.

I'm very lucky I didn't do some damage. Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy. Nothing more today .. I promise nothing.
