@08:45 - Was thinking about lifting tonight, but with Wendi's shoulder hurting it is not worth going into town by myself. Snowing, windy, and in the 20's all day. I am not going to be lifting in the garage. Then again, I might. It is supposed to be in the single digits tomorrow, and the gym in town will be closed. Which does not make for happy lifting Davens. We'll see how I feel later on.
On the upside, not having a lifting-day dependent carb cycling diet means that I don't have to be concerned with eating on the wrong schedule.
@22:00 - today was supposed to be an off day, but I went ahead and lifted anyways. Up in weight on both bench and dips (only a little, but more than nothing). My reps went down, but that was kind of to be expected. More weight, not a ton of energy, and a lot of cold (it was below 30 in the building). Lat raises I kept the weight but went up in reps a little.
Bench - after my first set, I really was able to dial in my form. I was actively tensing my pecs almost the entire set. Thus, fewer reps, because I was able to keep constant tension. I think that I am going to try to do the same in most exercises from now on. First set (heavy) - just move the weight. Subsequent sets (lighter weight, rep to failure) - try to keep constant tension going.
