Can't see chiro til next week. wasn't feeling it tues. with the time change and an ice storm, i skipped it. Bad girl.
Not the best session today, IDK if its PMS, fatigue, upping all my weights last cycle, just old age or a combo platter.

This time change going back an hour was supposed to gain an hour of sleep but doesn't seem to help me. What I don't like is it getting dark so early and the shorter daylight hours. I wouldn't feel so bad about skipping a WO when you don't feel recovered. I've read in a few places that 48 or even 96 hours is not enough time to recover especially for legs and back. I really don't think if you don't squat for a week you would get weaker, my only concern is DOMS, so maybe the idea of a light day in between would be in order.

[granny]

Well, missing is not the best. I get weaker for a week or more every month or so; and, it sucks! 1 step forward, 2 back. Not much sleep last night. It was 75 last saturday, today its 25 degrees.

CYCLE 14, WEEK 1, DAY 2 11_11_17 Saturday
SQUAT HEAVY 5's 165#/5 (3) my bar and weight in my feet were all over. Felt heavier than it should have.
Powerclean 88#/2 (3), 93#/2 (2), 98#/2 (2), 103#/2, 108#/2, 115#/2 Much better keeping the bar close today; only one skipped the thigh bump. Need to do some form work/panda pulls. I would like to jerk some of these; IDK what kind of hit my press would take, though, even though they're light??
Pullup Gravitron11, did 5 wide grip slow to try to feel the lats
Lat Pulldown 80#/10, 90#/10 (2)
BB Row 88#/10 (3)
Curls 50#/10, 10, 8+2 at 45#

VERY tired and not feeling it today. ?? (Ill blame my SO, who was out at chiro last nite, but feels Im angry if I go to bed without him. So I stayed up: Beck - Up All Night - YouTube
He's a Technophobe but so thrilled that I can ask Alexa to play Tennessee Jed and China Cat Sunflower after he hums a bar.
