COMMENTS
  • General: Felt decently wreckless today and went into the gym fired up on coffee ready to deadlift. There was no pain from the deadlifts or the curls, although my right elbow tweaked a bit later on in the day when I sat up off my bed wrong. Mentally I needed this day and didn't really care about doing any more training after I got the PR. Felt good and not depressed for the first time in a week after my session today. For some reason 450# was in my head driving to the gym so I threw it on and never looked back, although I have a feeling I could get more.
  • Nutrition: Not great. Literally I haven't been able to eat real food for a while now. Meat and vegetables make me feel sick. It's been tough.
  • Body: Achilles feels good today. I will be running tomorrow.
  • Sleep: 8-9 hours
  • Reflections: 20# off of my goal for the year on deadlift which I plan to get by the end of this month. Realized today that I should hit a 500# deadlift without any injuries this summer and I'm pumped about that. Going to hit up a run tomorrow, maybe squat too depending on how I feel.

Yeah I think all the stress and stuff zapped my appetite. It's been rough not being able to eat how I want to.
