Indeed, I was already feeling the DOMS in my glutes before I went to bed last night, feeling it worse today.

Chest was destroyed today, by my last sets I was pooped, dropped the weight to continue to hit the desired reps. I was able to complete my pull up routine in two less sets than I had previously done with BW. These are extremely taxing, but I'll have to die before I quit.

Today didn't start off on a good note, last night I had gotten in relatively late for wrestling training, was extremely tried, slept through my alarm this morning, only by 30 mins, but that was 15 mins from when I normally head to the gym, I've been giving myself an hour to workout. Long story short rushed through breakfast, got to the gym still half asleep, and busted it out. Hate when this happens it offsets an entire day.

Got up a little late today, I would regret this gym was packed with gymbicles. Started off on a bad note, was warming up on deadlifts and my left knee wasn't having it, next week I'm going to avoid any lift that might aggrevate it. I have a show tomorrow hopefully its feeling better.

Just got back from a wrestling show in California, match went well, despite being popped in the ear, I have still yet to regain my hearing. Just happy I got back relatively early, which means I'll be up bright and early to slaughter my legs.

Like I had stated Saturday, I'm taking it easy on my left knee this week, no real complaints in that area today. Set out to pre-exhaust my thighs w/ the exts and curls, this did the trick. Had to really battle myself to get out of bed today, quoting scripture. My body wasn't in any pain today from the wrestling, since I've been training consistently my body has adapted to the punishment. I have still yet to regain hearing in my left ear, read up on it today and from the sounds of it I have to allow it to rupture so all the gunk and blood drains out, doesn't sounds like much fun.

Woke up not feeling well at all today because of my ear. Got to the gym and nearly decided to not workout, but I forced myself. Been experiencing some vertigo today and yesterday, this morning this was accomplained by nausea and sharp pain. Just been feeling really out of it today, I'll be going to the doctor tomorrow to have my ear checked out, hopefully nothing serious.

Not the greatest workout today by any means, I woke up feeling worse than yesterday. Only plus in this workout was w/ 10lbs on widegrip pullups I completed 50 in one less set than I had on BW. I went to the doctor's today to get my ear checked out, turns out that I did rupture my eardrum on Sunday, I was referred to a specialist and put on antibiotics. Been trying to be positive about the situation, but today I've just been extremely frustrated, I'm sick of the nausea, vertigo and the pain, sick of how its been affecting my training and wrestling as well. My wife isn't too happy about it either, looks like I'm going to have a big decision to make.
