Typical
I think I found another tee shirt I need. DAMN IT.
Everybody knows by now that I workshop at the Altar of the Squat, but I know Squats Are Hard and it took me a long time and a lot of work to do them adequately. I still have to pay enough attention to form that I wouldn't say I yet do them well. Yet. Anyway, a lot of people have issues with squats and I know from personal experience that you can do yourself some serious damage if you do them consistently wrong. So here is another Breaking Muscle article on two common squat/hip dysfunction problems, how to identify them and how to correct them. Lots of helpful videos for the movements, too! Breaking Muscle, man. I LOVE THAT WEBSITE.
Speaking of exercise (because when don't I?), I went to the gym last night despite feeling really MEH about it. Mostly due to the cold. Brrrr. But I had a great workout and the weight room population was abnormally sparse. Probably a lot of other people were deterred by the temperatures. WIMPS. Anyway, such a good workout. Man, I walked out of there feeling like a motherfucking champion. And then two hours later I felt like someone ran over me with a truck. Just. So. Exhausted. That progression is typical of adrenal fatigue, and I guess I shouldn't be surprised that my cortisol levels are a little wacky again after last week's hormonal mess. Still frustrating. I gave up and went to bed at 9:15, woke up at 6:30 this morning, and I'm still feeling a little worn down. Gonna have to really think about how I want to handle Thursday's workout.
This does not bode well in regards to my hopes of returning to CrossFit WODs this summer.
