I want to preface this by saying this was not a typical workout. I put in significantly more volume because I've got 3 Thanksgiving dinners coming up and 2 days without any workouts. I wanted to smash myself prior to that.

-I'm sick. Haven't worked out in 4 days. Today was one of the worst workouts I've had in a while. Was supposed to do deads but knew I didn't have it in me. Obviously I didn't have it in me to do the pull-ups either lol.

E: LSS

2 miles

Notes
-This was supposed to be a day off but due to weather and daylight savings I haven't done an E in a few weeks. My body just wasn't used to it. Started having structural problems (knee, foot, etc). Ended up having to walk the 2 miles back home. As a result I'll probably have to go back to a 7 day training week so I can schedule my E days on one of the days I don't work.

-It's been a rough few weeks in my training. Between getting sick, knee problems, elbow problems, getting fat during Thanksgiving week (this in and of itself isn't a problem, but when it fell in line with all these other problems it was really bad timing), and this workout's problem it's been a bit disheartening.

Stay the course friend. You will get it all sorted out and back on track before you know it.

Keep your spirit up, mate! Your log does good deal of inspiration!

Thanks J-Madd and Bark. I think I may be on my way out of the woods for now. Finally had a decent workout.

Notes
-A much better workout than I've had lately. I'm finally understanding what's been causing all of my knee pain lately. Patellar tendon pain has been caused by just the fact that I increased my squat volume WAY too much st once. I went from a standard 3 sets to 5-7, and reduced my rest time from 3 mins to 2, all at once. I'm still a firm believer that you should increase yours sets when increasing your load becomes too difficult, but I really took it too far. I should have gone from 3 to 4.

My medial meniscus pain was caused by attempts to alter my technique. I was trying to press my knees more laterally out over my toes. However, I think I've come to learn that for me my feet just naturally point outward more and I just need to keep doing what feels right in that regard.

-A good HIC. I like that the farther you go the more you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
