  • General: Last time I went heavy barbell curling I got 100 for 2 which shows how much stronger my biceps are getting. Deadlifts for 5 reps were a new thing for me. Not a huge fan of them because once the weight gets heavier I think I'll be a lot more prone to injury on the 4th or 5th reps. I'm going to need to be careful. I was pleased with how easily 125# went up on press because I've had problems with that in the past. 
  • Nutrition: Pretty good, going to have some ice cream this evening
  • Body: Run down, showed up to the gym feeling like the inside of an asshole
  • Sleep: 9 hours, took melatonin
  • Reflections: Need to get some serious sleep tonight and need to not take the Tuesday run for granted because I didn't eat enough for recovery yesterday and today I would've suffered big time had the weights been any heavier. Didn't do any conditioning or running today because I want to heal the achilles to go longer Saturday. I believe that's more important for me right now.  Well deserved rest day tomorrow and back at it for some serious strength training on Friday.
