note: a couple of hours post-workout I am crashing slightly. No mood problems, but burning ears and utter lack of energy. Chalking this one up to a hard workout, compounded with the workout & wood chopping from yesterday. Just tired.
Woke up very hungry. Hooray for high days that let me stuff my tummy with oatmeal, brown rice bread (tasty, but dense) and omlettes. [silly thought: "cigarette" means "small cigar". Does "omlette" mean "small om"?]
Photos were taken today, due to sun issues yesterday morning.
--edit: post meal #4
Still hungry, even though I have had a meal every two hours (8,10,12,2:30). Supplement stack and two more meals to go. I fear my hunger levels tomorrow.
Workout:
Went much better today than last week. I have my weights dialed in pretty well. Aiming for 10-12 reps per set, and I was hitting that nearly every set. My last set of front squats only got to 8, but that was due to a lack of energy. I lost strength in my overhead press sets drastically. 12,9,8,11 with descending weight. I was wondering why I had such issues, then remembered that I did floor press yesterday, and thus my delts were already a bit tired. I'll make up for it on Friday.
Yet again, I was shaky after my last set of front squats. I have a suspicion that this will be a theme.
Next week, I will either be staying at the same weights and aiming for more reps (complete all of my sets) or going up in weight slightly (if I feel particularly strong). Which is as it should be.
Still in a good mood, just kind of dead from the workout. Tomorrow is an off-day, so just cardio.
I will be shuffling things a bit this week. Wednesday will be another low day, Thursday high, Friday medium. I can't lift on Wednesday, thus the shuffle. Although doing back squats on a medium day is going to suck.
--Post meal #6
Ever since the workout, I have been dragging. I am exhausted now [8:30pm], and will be showering and going to sleep. Tomorrow will be interesting. But I do have the additional carbs to look forward to, so I am hoping that I do not crash out.
