This was my fourth day in a row. The 5x5 squats yesterday didn't affect me the following day nearly as much as they have before. * I arrived at class feeling great. Then I started this wod...ugh! I should have been able to cycle through those cleans much faster than I did. I broke them up more than I should have. I was too slow in the transition from bar to ball every single round.
Now I am heading out of town for the rest of the week: four days of hardly any activity, hours and hours of meetings, not enough sleep, and trying desperately to stay paleo with the endless snack table, restaurants twice a day and cross-country flights. :)
*I admit with much trepidation that the last couple of squats sets were a little tough on my knees. I know that this is because I was not pushing my knees out...This week was much better.
Make sure you are foam rolling your legs all the time. The IT Band and the VMO especially. This has REALLY helped my knees.
