Today’s workout had a huge metabolic aspect. I finally gave out on the lower back from metabolic exhaustion. I was pumped for this week’s workout, fully recovered, and ready to get beaten up. I’ve changed a couple of things in the last few weeks and suspect they are helping with my recovery:
1. I’ve given up coffee – I’m not caffeine free, though. I drink 2-3 cups of green tea per day.
2. More sleep – I’ve been trying to get 8 hours per night, I’ve definitely had more than 7 hrs every night for the past 2 weeks
These are both things that have been circulating around on the OEvolve discussion group and Modern Paleo Blogsite.
As per normal, I worked out fasted and will eat a mammoth salad in about an hour. Check out the 2 leg exercises…my legs are still burning. I fully expect to have good soreness in them tomorrow (glutes too).
