I wanted to take a day off from the gym but we didn't get snow on Friday night so I decided to give it a go since I wasn't sure what was coming later Saturday or into Sunday. I tried to stay specifically to the upper body and give my legs a rest. Had an amazing upper body pump and the workout was pretty good overall. Everything felt really good and went well.
Sunday
Basketball
Snow shoveling
Woke up Sunday figuring it was going to be bad out and I wasn't leaving. It wasn't that bad and I had a text from two of my buddies saying they were going, so I figured I would go. When I got to the gym, the basketball court, or half of it was destroyed. Because of the weight of the snow/ice on the roof, the seems in the roof were leaking and it was like a lake on that side of the floor. Enough ppl showed up though that we played half court 4 on 4 with rotating teams. It wasn't the most intense workout but I was happy to get in a good sweat. Went home and shoveled snow, it got bad while I was in the gym though. When I left it looked like a soupy mess, the temp must have dropped and it all turned to ice.
Monday
Off
I finally got my day off from the gym. I had some painting to do around the house anyway and figured it was a perfect day to get in some rest. Near 4pm I finally sat down and tried to do a homemade recovery day. I stretched everything real good, then I sat down with a heating bad, a vibrating neck massager, and a heated foot massage. I was moving the neck massage around, putting it on my lower back, around my quad, under my calf. Then took a nice Epsom salt bath. I figured that would really help the recovery process added with the day off I'd be doing the right thing. Of course in the middle of the night I woke up and my quad hurt again. I was up like an hour or two. This is after I let myself fall asleep earlier last night, I just felt tired and figured I'd just let it happen. 2 hours later I'm wide awake in pain. Usually I wake up in the morning with no pain but I feel it in my quad, but it's also like 4 degrees outside so that could be why.
