It was.

I felt really good. Every lift was going well. Felt in the groove. Weight going up like a feather.

But after hitting 6 reps, I just stopped. I mean, it’s a 6RM, but whatever because it’s really just the first time I’ve stopped at 6 reps 😉 I’d gather I had at least 3 left in the tank, but that’s fine. I mean, today’s really just about getting 1 so 5 more is gravy. I’m fine with this. I’m supposed to only do prescribed reps anyways, right?

Did walking lunges instead of split squats because boredom.

Dropped bridges because time. Got a bunch to do today.

But whatevers. Not a bad day.
