Purge

I haven't been shut down by dead lifts like yesterday in a very long time.  I can think of quite a few excuses, but basically I just couldn't dig deep enough to find the strength.  I forgot my lunch yesterday so I had to find something on a three dollar budget.  Although the corn dog and fried burrito were satisfying, they were not very nutritious.  Not to mention the re-introduction of greasy bread into my bowels was a bit of a shock to the system. And, as many calories as they cram into those things, it isn't very sustainable.  I was starving by the time I got home, so I crammed in some cheesy wheat crackers and a glass of milk.  Two more items down the hatch that I haven't consumed in nearly a month.  It killed the hunger pains so I headed for the gym.  It was roughly 102 with all the doors open.  I was sweating by the time I got the bar set for my warm-up.  Anyhow, I worked up to 385 for 5.  No problem.  410 for 3 felt luxurious.  Loaded 460 for my single ( I fully intended to get at least three out of it).  NOTHING! I couldn't budge it.  I thought, "What the poo!!", and I stepped away to collect myself for a moment.  Tried it again with every confidence that it would go up, but I got burned again.  Needless to say, I was a bit disappointed with myself.  I had no desire to lift any more weights at that point so I changed clothes, powdered my yam sack, and went for a half hour run.  This went much better except that my heart rate was all kinds of jacked after the lifting, the 20 mph cross wind,  and the Sahara-like heat.  Every time I looked down I was running over 170 bpm and would have to slow down to a near walk/trot to get it back down to 150 bmp.  Got back to the house and felt somewhat redeemed so I rolled the tire out and did five quick sets of three flips to re-engage the central nervous system and reclaim my man card.  I don't think I've ever slept as hard as I did last night.  I had planned to run again this morning, but that was out of the question by the time today rolled around.  Bench press tonight.  I brought a really good lunch today, so we'll see how that works out.  Happy Friday to all.
