So I didn’t make it back to the gym much last week. My legs where just wrecked from the squats on Monday. Eating during the week was ok, not so much over the weekend.
But it was back to the gym on Monday, even if it was kinda late… hit the 7:30pm class since I didn’t leave work until 7:00pm. Workout was alright, but as usual… I didn’t scale properly and the KB swings slowed me down a lot because of my back. Was suppose to only take about 5min and I took almost 10min. I did talk to Karo a bit after and he said I need to focus on keeping my core tight when doing things like this. He said that is very common for folks to not have an issue keeping tight during heavy lifting, but they forget it about when doing high rep stuff like KB swings and box jumps. I know my core is definitely on the week side, so I really need to work on that… guess its time to start doing some hollow hold/rocks at home.
