Today hit me harder than I thought. I felt good and I was ready to train, but maybe I took TOO much time off. I scared myself with my excessive knee caving and weakness last time I squatted and I panicked because I am about 6 weeks out from a meet so I thought perhaps its time to deload. Thanks to an unforeseen emergency surgery for my wife, my deload week turned into daddy day care week. I swore this week I was going to do a "real" deload and not do what I usually do which is nothing, but whatever. My right hip is killing me and my week off didn't seem to fix it. Something on that side of my body is messed up.  Front squat went a little better than normal, I usually suck at that, but I was shocked at how smoked I was after the front squatting. I tried to push the pace a little and I must be more out of shape than I thought.

"Human bodies are designed for regular physical activity. The sedentary nature of much of modern life probably plays a significant role in the epidemic incidence of depression today. Many studies show that depressed patients who stick to a regimen of aerobic exercise improve as much as those treated with medication."
