...didn't go so well. Avid readers of this blog will note that I have been doing a lot of band work in my upper body training (ME and DE work) the last several weeks. And it went well. To a point. Band training can beat one up after a while and the last 2 weeks of this 8 week cycle were no exception. My right shoulder got a little tender and I pushed through it, especially as it was late in the cycle. But when push came to shove, and I went to test myself, it didn't feel too good. I missed my PR. Played around with the Slingshot and that didn't feel right either.
Bottom line. I pushed too far. The overall volume of my training has been down since December and I felt I had responded well to that (and may be why the bands didn't bother me sooner). Either way, that was a positive. I hit PRs fairly easily through weeks 5-6. I hit more in 7-8 but they did not feel as "strong". I attributed that to other (outside gym) factors at the time.
So less volume is good. Bands are good. A lot of bands not so good.
Beats workin',
