workout 9.

- an intern bought these pajama pants as kind of a joke. And obviously they are meant to wear only around the holidays. However, they are so comfortable... I may just make these my "all time sleepy pants". take a look



- my dog just ran in the house soaking wet. shook. and them threw up. This happens when he spends time with (eats) the sprinkler in the back yard.

- I woke up from a quick nap today and didnt know what day it was. and was confused on whether or not it was time to go to work or not. I was that tired. And not so much from working out. Its mostly from trying to get back on the "normal" sleep schedule of waking up at 3am. Its tough. Im sure a little has to do with 9 days in a row of intense workouts.

- I was feeling a little drained when I got to the gym today. but otherwise, fine, and was ready to get to work. Ahmad told me we were going to do plyometrics. I didnt know what that meant. but it sounded fun. like a game you'd play in grade school. maybe even foreign.

it wasnt.

it was a lot of jumping. and hitting. and jumping. quick lifts. and more jumping. it basically sucked.

(for those that care, and I looked it up when I got home)

Plyometrics is a type of exercise training designed to produce fast, powerful movements, and improve the functions of the nervous system, generally for the purpose of improving performance in sports. Plyometric movements, in which a muscle is loaded and then contracted in rapid sequence, use the strength, elasticity and innervation of muscle and surrounding tissues to jump higher, run faster, throw farther, or hit harder, depending on the desired training goal.

- I was DESTROYED when I left. Exhausted.




- I came home. hit the showers. and cooked this meal. Im getting pretty solid on the grill.
