...WELL...by far the worst workout of my life...killed it but my tie-in was bothering me more than usual...it seems like unless my legs are 100% not sore, my tie in doesn't bother me at all and I can go crazy...but if they're still sore, my tie-in hurts A TON...2x per week with 3-4 days in between working lower body was giving me tremendous results before...incorporated 3x per week and now smolov and tie-in seems to be setting me up for injury...EXTREMELY PISSED...all I wanna do is squat...everyday...non stop...
...MY BODY KEEPS TELLING ME NO...BUT MY MIND KEEPS TELLING ME YES...
...thoughts, opinions, and input from anyone would be VERY appreciated...I feel like I'm ABOUT. TO. RAGE...after not having a bad workout in 6 months this entire offseason...having a day like this makes me want to KILL...advertising not permitted

UPDATE
Well, I saw the doctor and he basically said my hamstrings and glutes are weaker than my quads and I most likely 'over' exerted them in an effort to keep up with my quad progression. The goal from here is to take 1 week off of lower body training while still training upper body. Then after that week is up, I will add in a lower body day 1x per week, followed up the next week with 2x per week. The problem area is really not that bad but I need to be over cautious, let them heal, and in a week, my legs will be BETTER than ever! My lower body has never recovered as fast as my upper body does so I plan on learning from this and moving on to BIGGER and BETTER things!
In other news, with working 40+ hours per week while going to school, family members being in and out of the hospital, obligations, and TONS of other things that I would rather not discuss, I am extremely sorry to say that I will not be logging quite as frequently as I have been. I plan to try and post as many workouts on my website (www.natural-pursuit.com) as possible and get them in this log as well. My videos will continue to be posted up in my youtube channel as I can get those out faster than writing down all of my things and posting them in multiple locations (I will probably be getting up 3+ videos per week.)
Although this is in NO WAY a good bye! You have all been so helpful and if ANYONE ever needs ANYTHING or ANY HELP at all, don't hesitate to contact me (beastfitness101@yahoo.com would be the fastest way for me to reply to you.)
Hopefully I will still be able to find time to post a couple times per week in here!advertising not permitted
