Even tho last night was my CarbNite, still, no gas. I am not totally surprised… takes some time to restore things. But no question… as I did my 335# set, I got to rep 5 and started to feel out of gas. When I hit 7 I couldn’t go any more. I felt like I had a few more in me in terms of my muscles fatiguing, but I just had no gas. That was it.

First-set-last-set’d it for 3 more sets, and that was good towards actually working my muscles more. But I’ve heard it said and it’s true… you just can’t get strong on a no-carb diet. Or if you can, give them carbs and they’ll get stronger.

Ah well. I know my technique was good. Really working on hone it. One thing was grip and ensuring to grip hard with my hands, but keep my arms “loose” so they remained straight with no attempt to “curl” the bar up or otherwise flex and put too much stress on my biceps.

I skipped the calf raises due to wanting to give my ankle more rest. It’s doing better with ice and Advil.
