(3) Mob - couch stretch each side


  • Notes: Decided not to jog today since my hip flexors are a little tender still. 80# is the most I have ever pulled so I felt good about that. The hills were pretty damn tough, especially staying out of the saddle for an extended period of time...my quads were feeling it.
  • Nutrition: Really good so far today. Had a big awesome breakfast--4 egg omelet with spinach, mushrooms, green peppers, pepper jack, beef brisket and some chia seeds. Didn't really eat lunch because that lasted me a while so I will catch up tonight. I think I prefer eating 2 big meals with some snacks here and there versus 3-4 medium meals...felt awesome around workout time.
  • Body: Adductors and hip flexors are still sore, but much less so. I was relieved that my hip flexors felt much better today and that it was just normal soreness. I have also decided that one of my big goats is anterior hip tightness, and the couch stretch is my godsend. I always feel immediately better after it. My upper body and hamstrings are relatively flexible, so hips are where I need to work.
