Bleh.
Today I was dragging ass at the gym and I'm not sure why. Maybe I ate something that threw me off. I know I was sweating buckets too - I'm already a decent sweater, but this was ridiculous, like I needed a towel it was so bad.
My lifts were kind of sucky. Deadlift was ok but not great, could be because I did legs 2 days ago and I'm still a little sore. I usually wait until Friday to DL but this week is different. Plus my back has been sore lately so it just made my workout even harder. I could hardly do pull ups today for some reason, kept having to take breaks every 1-2 reps which is ridiculous for me. I can normally get through a set of 10, then a set of 8-10, then a set of 5-6 before having to break. Reverse flys, barbell curls, and was struggling to do #80 lat pulldowns and #70 rows. What gives?
It's all the weight I can normally lift, it was just 8 billion times harder today for some reason.
But at least I did it. For the most part I did every rep I set out to do, or just till I could do no more. I was feeling kinda down about it at the time, but I worked hard and got it done so I can't be too hard on myself.
So here's to getting it done, even on the days when we don't feel our best.
Off Day
