2019OCT30 (REST)

Rest:

- Today's day of rest wasn't planned.  I should have packed some workout attire for my house hunting trip to Columbia, Missouri; but, I didn't, because I wasn't expecting to get diverted from Columbia to Peoria, Illinois to pick up our van which had been damaged several weeks ago due to a collision with a deer.  As fate would have it, during our return trip to Kentucky, the collision center notified us that our van was ready for pickup -- giving us approximately 3 1/2 hours to drive from St. Louis to Peoria.  Needless to say, it was a very close call with only 15 minutes to spare before the collision center closed.  To make matters more unnerving we still had to fuel and drop off our rental car.  Thankfully, an Enterprise-Rent-A-Car center was located a couple blocks away from the collision center, along with a Circle K gas station -- what luck!  We made the drop off of the rental car with 4 minutes until they closed.  It was absolute chaos.  Afterwards, we found ourselves with another 6 hour drive back home to Kentucky, in the rain no less.  14 hours from the time we got in our rental with the intent on driving home to Kentucky, we found ourselves finally home.  A drive that normally takes 5 1/2 to 6 hours was more than doubled and we finally arrived home safely at 2:30 a.m. on Halloween.  It was a crazy drive filled with delays, wrecks, road construction, and foul weather, so by the time I arrived there wasn't any motivation nor energy to get my front squats done.  Additionally, the 24 hour period had passed along with my streak of squatting consecutively everyday for the past 137 days.

* Notes:

- I should have done more axle presses, but after the superset with the reverse hypers I was tired and on a time crush to finish early so I could get back to packing.  Plus, having a sore low back convinced me that the front squats were enough for one day, so I cut the workout short.

* Notes:

- 30kg jumps to 170kg for a single, I'd say that's progress.  170kg is becoming more and more of a routine lift.  I believe the 182kg goal weight is around the corner.  Soon, but I must remain patient and put in the work.

* Notes:

- Today was rough.  No, today was fucking rough as hell!  The 160kg front squat was the toughest and most challenging 160kg I've done in a long time -- talk about grinding!  Fuck me!  I should probably warm up more and leave the 50kg jumps to the pros.
