I AM DYING. First of all, the Spike I took this morning has wreaked absolute havoc in my heart. It is in grievous amounts of pain. I needed to take a fifteen minute break after squatting before I felt okay to keep training.

Since I've decided getting a front lever is on my list of things to do (a clean one, folks), I'm incorporating it more and more into my training.. even if my rhomboids are dying. The ice cream scoopers, though (this is an exercise like a knee-to-elbow, except you keep yourself straight the entire time and bring yourself into a front lever, then drop back down), I could only perform three before falling to the ground. Not fun. But impressive (to me, anyhow) that I could do it at all.

So far, I haven't had a single day where I can go above the prescribed reps in 5/3/1 for squat. I just don't have the energy.. and training at 8AM today because of how my schedule is right now.. doesn't help at all. My squat is probably the lift suffering the most from the deficit. It may also be the lift that I calculated closest to my true 1RM.. since I'm pretty sure (though have never attempted) I could do at least 425 on DL and 240 on bench.

I also haven't put any unilateral work in on squat day in forever.. This is partly due to forgetfulness. the other part is just not having the energy beyond squats. I imagine I should be fine, though.

All the same, today wiped me out. I can't wait for my midday nap, assuming I can squeeze it in today (super packed Monday). Boo mornings. BOO!
