Thats all that I could think about today during my session. It is days like these, that if I can get through them and somehow still have a positive outlook on my progression, then I will succeed. Basically, today was a total bummer. I felt like crap and performed below the level I wanted. Maybe I am jet-lagged, maybe I ate too much beforehand (its possible, I slammed a ton of meatloaf for lunch, remember, we don't judge here on my blog), maybe I am just tired, maybe starting to squat without a mirror had more of an effect then I originally thought, or maybe I should stop trying to make excuses. The bottom line is, I had to work hard as f*#k today because my body did not feel spry and my mind was not in it. I guess you need days like this every once and a while to show yourself how to persevere even when its hurts or you want to stop, cry and suck your thumb (okay maybe thats just me). Whatever the case, I'm going to keep my head high and continue on the path I have set for myself.
*Don't let the PR's fool you, I felt crappy as hell and that outweighs the gains I made*
Backsquat
2x3 @ 350# (PR. Ugly and poor, but, below parallel)
1x3 @ 340#
Shoulder Press
1x3 160#
1x3 170#
1x3 180# (almost pulled something on my third rep)
Deadlift
1x5 @ 430#
Luckily the deadlift and shoulder press felt pretty okay compared to the squats. Although the shoulder press felt very heavy. Surely, my head was not fully in these lifts today. I am going to rest and hope Friday goes better.
