Days 54 & 55: Rest and Flexibility Training Day

Day 54 was a day off from my pull workouts, but I did get into the gym for morning cardio and stretching then a later workout on my legs.  My back and shoulders were feeling a bit sore, so I really focused on primarily stretching my upper body.

Day 55 should have been my secondary priority training day for pull ups, but I was feeling REALLY sore in my shoulders.  So, I thought I would take it a bit easy.  I took the morning off and relaxed a bit.  A little later into the day I hit the gym for 15 minutes of cardio followed by 15 minutes of deep upper body stretches.  Sadly, my legs were tight, but my upper body was tighter.  I decided that the upper body deserved more of my attention.

Taking the day off was, in my mind, the best idea for a better priority training day on Saturday.  I believe that I will be able to push my personal best in pull ups to 30 repetitions.  We will see, so stay tuned.
