Gym alone (technically with mom, but let's be honest...) so I worked my lower body and just took it pretty easy for shits.  It's my second week of four-a-week (my goal for the month, as stated here) after last weeks workouts + sectionals.

I'm unsure what I want to do for my next four-a-week.  Ken has three sets of workouts- back and bicep, chest and tricep, legs and shoulders.  Trying to hit the gym four times a week leaves that fourth slot unfilled.  I'd considered doing a hard cardio day, had settled on doing a quarter or half deck of cards, then left my cards at home because i'm stupid.  My workout:

Roll my hammy
bike for 15 minutes at very low resistance, got about 3.5 mi with ~80-85 RPM avg.
Hack Squat: 3x10x120
Inverted Squat: 3x10x150
Quad extend: 10x70,50,50
Hammy Curl 3x10x55
Standing Calf Raise: 3x10x155
It's odd.  I feel stronger than I used to be, but these numbers are, in many cases, lower than they were before.  I'm not sure if this is indicative of overtraining or underfeeding myself, but it's something to pay attention to.  The numbers are, at least, increasing from when I started with Ken.

The thing I'm really posting about is that I'm at the gym, or more realistically, at home, while all my friends are at sectionals.  J, Toad, Schach, Ginie are all with their teams.  I'm here alone.  It's not a good feeling.  I've found myself struggling with it all summer- it's a mixture of jealousy, despair and defiant hope.  I have, at least so far, channeled it into determination to get better physically.  I toyed with visualizations heavily near the beginning of August, but my focus wasn't in it.  Perhaps the next time I shower, I can return to the Bartlett House technique.  It's very difficult visualizing what I want to work on, especially downfield d- I can't seem to see the cuts developing the way I need to.  Alternative options include working my timing or feeling my fakes or deep shots better when I visualize.  And, there's always the layout d.

I should eat.  Protein o'clock.
