I'm a slacker

...and simply just haven't been posting. Below are some recent workouts that I've been doing. Basically, I've been doing two heavy weight or bodyweight workouts a week with a sprint workout every 7-10 days. I've been very consistent with this kinda/sorta routine for a few months. I've significantly increased the weight in some of my lifts, most notably with the deadlift and snatch. However, on the days that I am doing these workouts I've noticed that "workout time" has gotten a little long for my liking. My last workout was well over an hour and I like to keep things 45 minutes or less. Also to note, my neck has been more stiff than usual and also seems to tighten up even more when I'm surfing; too much shoulder and trap involvement I presume. I'm going to keep the number of days I lift to only two still but, will move back to solely bodyweight stuff again as I find it is more conducive to surfing and general daily activities. Walking, of course, helps with recovery from heavy lifting or marathon surf sessions.
