Another three sessions, bite the dust, but these three did have a little bit of a delay.
Friday, was my officially rest day, which as usual, I used to do some foam rolling, trigger pointing and a little mobility.
This did also include, helping finished building the rig at Reebok Crossfit Glasgow, with Iain, not sure which section of training this comes under.
Will need to post some photos as it is one mightily impressive rig now.
Anyway, on Friday evening I received a message asking me to start earlier than usual in my Saturday bar job, which would mean near enough 12 hours on my feet, I decided one more rest day, wouldn't do any harm, rather than rushing to the box, rushing through session, rushing home etc etc.
As I expected, as it was a stunning day in Glasgow on Saturday and my work had opened a new 'on street terrace' I had a very, very busy and long shift, so was good decision not to train, however Myself and some of the other staff, decided to go for a 'couple' of drinks after work, which led to a 'couple' more, which led to..... you get the idea !
So Sunday mornings session, was soon written off, with the lack of sleep and the shorter opening hours. I decided, there was no point going there and putting in a half hearted effort, if I'm (or anyone is ) not going to progress from a session, its a waste of time doing it.
Sunday, was another scorching day in Glasgow and I decided to head over to the West End Festival, which is a big day out, aimed at everyone from kids to big kids (I fit in that bracket)
So, I arranged to meet my friend, we had a stroll up and down the length of the closed road and found ourselves in a local bar, sitting outside in their terrace, having a beer, bumped into a few more friends, who obviously had the same idea, which then led to another 'couple' of beers !!
Thankfully, after a very enjoyable afternoon and evening, I managed to dodge any nightclub involvement and got myself home.
Three days rest, was not going to become four !!
So, I knew no matter how bad I felt the next day, I had to get back down and train, I don't think Iain, would let me away with another day anyway.
So, finally back onto my sessions

60secs Rest
No of reps = 1st round 107, 2nd 90, 3rd - 87
An extremely tiring session, but its day three, I'm done !!
So, even though I did have an extra two days rest, it was never really going to effect my strength or conditioning, so not going to beat myself up about that. The beer definitely had an effect on Mondays sessions, but again I did have a great day on Sunday.
So that doesn't worry me either, its not like I do it every weekend. Sometimes you just need to go with the flow, unless, your training for something important, then a stricter regime is better, I (at the moment) am just training to get better.
Rest day tomorrow, then back on it, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, without the 'distractions' this time, I hope
Till then
Craig
