This week was very challenging in terms of Readiness to train. Sleep quality was very poor due to late night studying(midterms this week). Other than that I was satisfied with my squat. I was at that weight this summer but for 3 reps and my power clean is getting back to where it was before my injury. Over all I have a good feeling about how this block is going and as my ankle feels better my lifts and power keep climbing. I have been very militant with mobility work and rehab this week and it paid off because although sleep quality was poor, I still kept my heart rate from climbing too much. At the beginning of the week it was still at 51 but has gone up slightly to 54/55 which is a jump but not to the point of needing to back off. Primary upper/lower exercises switch next week to Floor Press and Front Squat. This weekend will involve lots of regeneration and HAWKEYE FOOTBALL!
