On Friday, I was just way sore from doing deadlifts on one day and squats the day after. I think I get D.O.M.S (delayed muscle onset soreness) a little later so surprisingly doing my workouts on this split was totally perfect. I know muscle soreness means that "I'm making gainz" but it's not pleasant when walking around; I feel that I walk around stiffly like a robot. SO, I searched up on how to treat D.O.M.S. or make it go away more quickly. Intake more protein - helps with muscle synthesis and accelerates the healing of muscle fibers Foam rolling afterwards - promotes blood flow especially to the area of injury/muscle tears/inflammation I think these two "treatments" may have sped up my recovery! So I'm ready to start week 2 STRONG :). Originally, I planned to workout Saturday morning since I allowed myself a rest day on Friday, however, I think my body needed the rest... slept 12 hours on and off. How you do dat?  :O This is the brand...

Today was my deadlifting day! But I was also very lazy in the morning and didn't do fasted cardio. xD Must go harder tmw then for cardio. So.. Last time I did deadlift with my man friend, I got to surpass my mental and physical block of 135 lbs! Holy guacamole. For months I've been stuck and could NOT lift it off the floor at all. However, after a couple of weeks of not working on deadlifts, I was so shocked that I lifted 135 lbs with ease and actually went up to 155 lbs in one gym session. It was crazy I tell you! I can't believe I'm making these gains everywhere. Seeing progress like that really motivates me more and puts me on such a high because there's proof that my body is indeed changing and getting strong. It's an amazing experience even though I still feel like a noob at the gym sometimes. I wonder if I'll ever have that confidence at the gym (maybe when I finally get abs and can shamelessly walk around with a sports bra on, GLOAT). My work...
