I Survived.

Feel good today after the platform yesterday. I can therefore only conclude one of two things:

1. It'll all hit me tomorrow.
2. The Z on my left shoulder and the Z bone rhythm work on my right leg specifically is working.

I'd like to think "#2."

I'm really enjoying (what a strange word to apply to my training...as opposed to compulsion...) the Z-based lunges. They work the snot out of my legs and for the first time in my life (training life) that I can remember, I am able to lunge routinely without pain in the right knee. What a fantastic feeling! Not only that, they continue to build muscle in all the right places. Today, I performed them with the KB in the press lockout position, again, on the opposite arm from the lunge leg. This position has been instrumental, even critical, in the newfound functioning of the leg.

I'm very interested to see how my squat session on the June 5th is going to go based on how well these lunges are working.

Today's session:

A. KB Press: 40kg/6 x5 sets; 3 minutes rest (I forgot what a great protocol this is for myofibrillar hypertrophy--I'm not a "pump-chaser" but you sure get one with this.)

B. Overhead KB Contralateral Z-based Lunge: 16kg/5+5 x 7 sets; 2 minutes rest. This felt so good I was compelled to keep going.

C. RowPUPs, one arm at at time: 24kg/5+5 x3; 60 seconds rest.

Some metabolic work tomorrow.
