So let's start with leg day this past week. Everything went really well. Squatted 8@265, form wasn't perfect toward the end...but still pretty solid. Friday was my off day, and my first day at the lowest carb level I'll hit for the rest of the 10 weeks. It wasn't too bad, .5g carbs/lb bodyweight which is 95g for the day. Had a good lift in Charlottesville on Saturday, Chest & Bis. Hit 225 for 11 on bench, pretty good for a 190 lb guy who has struggled on bench for my whole life.
So that leads up to today, I hit my cardio (session 1 of 2 planned for the week), 30 mins plus abs. I left the lock off my ipod, so when I went to use it, it had already died. It was a little rough getting through a half hour on the elliptical without any good music (pop was on the gym station, Lady Gaga...ugh...), but I got through it just fine. Then in the afternoon I had football. First drive, moving down the field I take off on a QB run towards the sideline and I hear a loud *POP* come from the front of my leg and I immediately drop to the ground. The pain wasn't as bad as when I tore my hamstring a couple years ago, but something is definitely not right. I can't lift my leg or walk properly without feeling some strain in my quad, which is going to seriously put a damper on my leg days, & possibly on my cardio.
On the drive home i contemplated dropping by KFC for a double stack, or Mickey D's for a McFlurry...but I was good and I am resolved to stay on the competition diet until I know for sure I won't be able to compete. I should be ok, will probably need to take this week of legs and kick it into high gear next week. Ice & rest, hopefully things will make a turn for the better this week...
