An insomniacs training log
As someone who routinely sleeps less than 25 hours a week, progress has been painfully slow. I continue to look for ways to rest and recover, but I've had to accept that it might not get figured out quickly and train anyway. Training and programming around severely impeded recovery have been humbling. Finding a level of stress that can be recovered from and is also sufficient to drive progress has been like threading a needle - and sadly has resulted in more advanced training than I have earned.
Andy Baker's 2 steps forward, 1 step back, exactly as written, has made squat progress possible for the past 4 months. Not an ideal rate of progress, but it beats routinely missing lifts. Maybe by the time I figure out how to sleep, I'll have earned programming this advanced. Snowflake rant over.
Today's only lift.
