Active rest

Rest day. Worked on skills, mobility, and myofascial release.

Mobility drills:
-Thoracic spine
-Shoulders
-Hips
-Wrists and ankles

Skills:
-Handstands
-L sits on rings
-Squat technique: box squats

MFR w/ tennis ball:
Upper body
-Posterior delts
-Under armpit
-Lats
-Tricep tendons at the elbow

Lower body
-Hip capsule
-Upper hamstrings
-Lower hamstrings
-Deep calf muscles (along shin bone)
-IT band/quads

• Notes: I won't be listing these every time, but this is essentially what my rest days will look like from now on. The deep tissue massaging is sadistically painful if you find some good spots. Been watching a lot of Kelly Starrett's videos on massage and mobility work and have starting implementing some of that in place of standard "stretching".
• Nutrition: Good.
• Body: Traps still slightly sore. I found a lot of hot areas in my lats, posterior delts, and thoracic spine area. As usual, my hips were pretty tight as well and there was some significant tightness in my IT bands. Didn't feel any of this until I got in there, all the more reason to massage more frequently.
