Every now and then, something works well and I may even get a PR or too, but they are always a precursor to getting crushed! This time, the tires crushed!

The first two sessions of the week are devoted to strength and working the central nervous systems (CNS). Saturday is speed, technique and work capacity. This is the hardest type of training I have ever done. It is great!
I started getting trained by my pal Scott of http://www.eastweststrength.com. After watching him train others from the old Freak Factory, I decided it was time for some real training. I came away with 2 killer sessions.
New gear and old routines still can get it done. It was a good week and finished with the worst case of DOMS in years!

What wasn’t expected, was how crappy I felt afterwards. I initially
thought it was just because I had been neglecting these that I was so
discombobulated but then I realized I hadn’t eaten all day and I was
under-hydrated. Just plain dumb
