I’ve had a rough couple of days physically and emotionally. On Wednesday I could barely bend down without excruciating pain and there was a lot of family drama; needless to say I had a bit of a breakdown. I was suppose to deadlift and I ended up doing a couple sets of stiff legs and leaving. My mind just wasn’t there on Wednesday, I brought emotional factors outside of the gym in the gym and this never end well for most people, including myself. Luckily, I went to the Alta Vista Chiropractor and they were extremely helpful within a couple hours both my knees felt better. I’ve never had an instant relief so this was exciting for me. I’m feeling much better today and managed to squeeze out a PR; definitely a good day!
