Routinely inconsistent

Head cold has got me all kinds of fucked up. My top set of squats felt really great besides my head feeling like it would explode.

Took a week off from the gym to let my hand heal up (drunken bad decisions, again). On Monday I did some squats, as per usual. Later in the day the girlfriend and I did some circuit training from hell with her friends, and I pushed myself way too hard. Triceps are still hella sore, but It’ll hopefully be over soon.

I don’t know what’s gone on with my bench, but I’m struggling. Hopefully it’s just a bad week/week and a half.

Bench still sucks. Started good morning my squats on my last set. Read an article that made a lot of sense. Instead of looking at back weakness, the article stated weak quads causes the body to compensate and causes the hamstrings/glutes/lower back to work extra hard and fire the hips up faster than the upper body. So, i’ll Be adding quad work from now on (should have been added a while ago).

Ever since that tricep intensive circuit workout, my bench has sucked. Today my elbows were starting to feel shitty again (first time since October ish). Back to doing drills/exercises focusing on it. Woo! Great timing, right before the end of the competition.

OHP felt great. All in all a good workout. Lower back/rear hip hurts a bunch though. From my googling, possibly sciatica? But i’ll do more focused stretching and hope that fixes things.

Good workout. I skipped the last rep on my top set of bench, didn’t want to risk it. It would have been close, but I can’t afford an injury before a big shooting day tomorrow. Rest of the workout was great again though! Who knew getting quality sleep consistently helps. Shifts are about to get crazy again though, so the gainz will be disappearing.

Last nhl game of the year last night, plus work this morning, means I didn’t sleep much. But, still hit a squat PR and added more reps to my pull-ups. Just didn’t have time for the stationary bike or to stretch properly.

The weight section of the gym was absolutely packed today. There was a group of about 10 guys squatting/deadlifting in the only 2 racks at the gym. So I did an even more bastardized workout than what I normally do. Extra rest for the back too.
