Kicked off a new training cycle last night. This one should be fairly boring, but I'm trying to add in as many morning workouts as possible, so I'm keeping my heavy workouts pretty basic. Not to mention the weights in my heavy workouts are getting heavy now. *fjord* It's a bit intimidating as I'm pushing in to nether regions I have yet to explore. Pain and injury are sure to follow. Fortunately I have a tens unit and my house is within crawling distance from the gym. (side note: I was talking to a chap at work last week after I hurt my back deadlifting. He suggested I only lift a heavy single every once in a while and the rest of the time I lift in my "safe zone". What the hell does that even mean? "Hey! If you wanna be a world class sprinter, you gotta do speed work once a month and jog on a treadmill the rest of the time to prevent injury." I don't get people)

Yeah. Fiiiiiiiine balance there 'tween the "pushing it to the next level" zone, and the "that was a hair too far" zone. i, for one, am glad to hear you're takin' the tiger by the tail; but don't forget to rest. i've been pushing into climbing zones that i'd thought i was too old to get to, but i'm starting to screw with chronic injury. It don't just screw with yer tendons--it screws with your mind. i'm secretly glad i have a forced two-week break here. And i'm jonesing like a meth head.
