Training Day Two Hundred Sixty Seven

What a crappy day... literally! Actually, the day was fine, but the evening turned out to be a lot less pleasant. After having spent most of the day in Halmstad, and, topping it off with my workout, I was suddenly hit by an excruciating amount of stomach pain while driving home. As soon as I got home and parked the car, I ran up into the apartment and into the bathroom. After that, it was time for a good hour of agonizing pain (to the point where I almost fainted) before I finally found relief. At this point, the pain is slightly relieved, but I'm having to go to the bathroom ever other minute. Most likely I'm coming down with something, either that or I ate something that didn't agree with me. In any case, I'm not feeling too hot right now.

# Workout Notes:
I had a really good session at the gym today before hell broke loose at home. The initial delt and rotator cuff portion of the workout felt strong and good. I had no issues with the weights, and I even increased a little bit on certain exercises. What was even more interesting was the new and revamped version of my calf workout. For quite some time I've heard a lot of people saying that high reps are the way to go as far as calves training was concerned. I've been stubborn enough to keep going for my 8 reps on each and every exercise, but I finally made a decision to test the high-rep theory. However, I'm still not going as high as some are promoting, but I am going a lot higher than my 8 reps. Adding to all this, I also put in the Tibialis Anterior exercise that I was trying out last time. This time I did it according to the video (found here), and the execution of it turned out great. The results of these changes are under evaluation, and it'll take a long time to see if it'll give me satisfaction. I am, however, good at the waiting game.
