Another week to mix things up. The week started with a severe case of DOMS and finished with a smoldering central nervous system. In between was a hell of a good training week!

Started and finished very light this week but between the buns was the meat. A deload week, more or less.

After several weeks of sub-par training, I put together a good mix of workouts that were taxing, but not draining. The most important aspect of a workout regimen in my opinion, is consistency. Even if you are having off-weeks, and you will, stay with it even if you have to back off. It is far easier to go into “maintenance mode” and lose a little than have to start all over again. I know this. I have done it enough times and each time it is considerably harder than the last.
