A challenging workout of Jerks


Holy cow am I sore. I know I said I love being fit and SORE but this may be a bit over the top.  Note to self – doing 50m lunges for 3 rounds and then doing 200 squats over 2 days is just not the smartest approach to fitness for me. Most people skip one of those days due to their schedule, but not me and now I am paying for it.  I usually like the feeling of sore muscles — it means I worked hard but not sure this was what I call working hard. I am not hurt but I am hurting.  I am going to go use a foam roller and roll out my muscles to help loosen it all up a bit —

I had a rough time doing anything that required doing a squat or press with my legs, hamstrings. So I stopped before I completed my Push Jerk. My form was crap and I didn’t want to hurt myself. My soreness really got to me. In hindsight, I should have took a rest day today and did not listen to my internal voice. Note to self: LISTEN next time!
