Pauls injury, I mean fitness log.

I admire your tenacity son. I would have called it a day after that first missed rep. I almost always get psychologically butthurt over a missed rep that if even I have the strength to do it again I just can't.

The only workout I have ever tried a second time after a failed rep is the deadlift.

Dude. Pulls might be slow but technique looked good.

I have to be a little smarter. I will always give deads three attempts and squats like that occasionally. After a missed bench I usually give up after a miss and them think of something else like get some reps in at a lighter weight. That or cry.

That or cry.

Haha, this.

DEFICIT DEADLIFT 1#10 @300. Im not saying this was DE as it moved slow after testing my squat max. The deficit as around 3-4 inches as the bar was almost touching my feet.

SHRUGS 10#2 @225 315. I was shot by this point and just called it a day.

I need to switch up programs or tweak a little something. I'm sick of spending two hours a time.

Day 2
ME DEAD.........nothing. Couldn't break the bar after my last warm up of 350#2.
Stomach cramps.
Puking.
More stomach cramps.
Boss tells me to go home.

I want to start olympic lifting again so I'm going to the drawing board with programming. Priority is strength though so I'm looking at incorporating a good mix.

My right glute has been off today. My friend showed me some mobility work that I tried out but I'm now a lot sorer. Bending down is hard. In order to just preserve sanity a little I need to take the rest of the week off.
