That's something I kind of started Week 1, so when it got to where I'm getting a little beat up, I have a routine already for getting my body back together. Just getting in the cold tank, making sure you're getting massages.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think recovery is around the clock. Are you sleeping enough? Are you hydrating enough? Are you stretching? Are you eating well? Pretty much everything that I do is a reflection of how I'm going to feel on the field. I take great pride in getting in an ice bath after training and just taking care of myself.
I'm just trying to go out each week and get better. I just have to be patient, and it's going to happen.
I try to get massages on Saturday. That's my only day off.
The gym is where I get my chill-out time. I try to go six days a week, but when I'm working, that goes down to about three.
On Monday I come in and get in a full body workout, and then I come back in on Wednesday and do a quick six, which consists of bench press, biceps and triceps curls, pull downs, something for the back and the neck. And then you come back and hit it again on Friday with a 16-machine workout.
I feel like I get better every week.
I trained well this week but I think it will take some time until I recover my best rhythm in this specialty.
I love going to work out now. It gets out aggression and my trainer really shakes it up so I don't get bored.
Training is full-on. Some days I really don't want to get out of bed and hit that track again. Sunday and Monday morning sessions are always horrible. But who really looks forward to going to work on a Monday morning?
This last year I kind of stopped working out. I think my body just needed a break. And so I did that, and focused more on feeling good as opposed to beating myself up.
