well i did upper body 4 days ago,just felt like i was going thru the motions and didnt have any real grrr in me.seems to be happening alot and i`m kinda wondering whether i`m overtrained or not.altho i`m sure i`m not it would explain my poor appetite too.
i did have a shake rather than just a tuna and pint of milk preworkout yesterday as it was leg day and it did help energy levels(to a degree)
by that i mean that i didnt sack the workout directly after doing me 20 singles (as i`m now thinking of them-as i abuse the term rest pause lol)
as i did 224kg for a single after i`d done 20@204kg t`other week i thought i`d carry on adding 5kg a time, so it was 219kg for 20.
OMFG can honestly say that was the hardest 20 i`ve ever done.it felt like i was using every muscle in my body to lift it.
i do time myself sometimes if i remember,but after 1 rep i realised this wasnt gonna be one of those times.first of i started thinking i`ll do 10 reps-leave it at that and just do the rest of the workout,then i thought fook it do the 20 and call it a day..
well i got to 19 and thought lets see if 219kg is equivalent to 200kg from the lower handles(standard deadlift from the floor so to speak)
errrrr nope lol.
if i`m honest i dunno if i`d get it at the beginning of a workout still which is a bit of a downer..
still at least i can hold 500+lbs without the bar ripping out of my fingers lol.
i did vid the lift and it look s like i didnt even try to lift the bar,soon as i tried to move it i knew it wasnt happening.
anyhoo the main thing is the numbers are still going up!
it had made me think whether i actually want to lift from the floor as my back really didnt like the degree it was at.after a certain point my back feels like its actually stretching rather than bending cos the lower back area is soo tight..
anyhoo id did do some shrugs and some bi curls to finish off with a couple of sets on a gripper too which soothed my conscious abit.
i really want to carry on adding to deads if i can but at some point ineed to drop back and leave myself some energy for other stuff(shouda done calves and theyre not something i like not doing altho theyre the first thing to get dropped and when you got crappy calves - thats not good!)
anyhoo dave came round later and had a workout,poor lamb forgot his gloves lol but as always it was good to have a catchup...)
