After Saturday's workout, I just let it all go. Got pizza delivered, had some wine, and played some video games. More of the same on Sunday. Yesterday I skipped my workout and made a point to eat extra. Today I am feeling better, but still wasn't up for lifting yet, so I just walked for awhile, maybe an hour or so.
The walk helped to clear my mind. I am essentially burnt out on trying to get stronger. I am going to back way off on the grip stuff, and back off quite a bit on the weights. This includes dramatically cutting my time spent on the internet doing message boards and blogs, etc. I'll still read a few blogs and keep mine up to date, but that's about it.
I'll do full body weights twice a week with a little grip stuff at the end. Otherwise, it looks like some sort of long slow endurance work is going to find its way into my program. I'm not a fan of the stuff for the long term, but I think a few month cycle of it will be good for me mentally. Come winter I'll return to the weights with more focus. The cold weather will make it a good time for a program based in the basement.
