Yah, it was fun, but then towards the end became a chore, and now I'm incredibly tight, an ITBS waiting to happen. Started to loosen things up yesterday, will continue with stretching breaks today.No, not stupid! It's good and fun to have some goals that aren't mixed with the weightier stuff of life! [as long as you dont't cause yourself any serious damage ;-)] Congatulations!
My hyper bench came yesterday. Sweet:

However, I had to do some test hyperextensions while making adjustments, and that just made me tighter. Today I'll try some more as part of my plyo/mobility workout. It's supposed to be twice a week. I also got the Yoga Anatomy book, so I'll try to work some of that stuff in as part of my stretching routine. Not happy with getting so stiff all of a sudden.
So Wednesday pm one-mile run-commute at 41F/ I forgot to write down the windchill. Then mediocre bench press as my left shoulder felt gimpy, and just biceps curls afterwards as I had some banking to do before picking up the kids. Still, got a bit of a pump. I think the everyday lifting is getting results.
Thursday am, one-mile run-commute at 33F/25F windchill. Very pleasant. Probably should've gotten in my 3.1-mile route, but I'm going to hold off on a proper run until I get my posterior chain and ITB loosened up.
Chairs are butt orthotics, I like that Scratch. I should probably sit-squat a coupla times a day. Funny though, I can usually sit in an office chair all day without any problem, even when I don't get up to stretch or use the stand phase of my sit-stand desk. Yesterday was murder though, and I had trouble sleeping too. My spine, glutes, hammies, and ITB felt achy in all positions.
Fifth day without caffeine. I feel alert and well.
