I don’t know why, but today was just great. No mental reservations, just charge ahead.
Maybe taking video of myself made me think to really be on on form — want to look good on video, right? Even tho it’s only for my eyes. Still… mental tricks on yourself.
I also found myself more in a proper groove. I’ve settled on breathing at the bottom. Yes, there’s more setup involved, but it’s turning into a more solid performance. I mean, last session I did 5 with 140, and today I did 6 with 145. I feel good about breaking my all-time PR next pressing session. Finally.
But everything else really felt good and I could really crank today. Weights felt light, almost like I didn’t work myself enough. I’ll just take it as it comes, and rest more. 🙂 I mean, Friday will be 5/3/1 squat day, and I’m looking forward to kicking some ass.
