Today was alright. Solid day, no complaints.

Pressing went fine. Didn’t set a rep PR, but it was still a fair showing for the day.

Dips were weird. My body just didn’t want to do them. It didn’t feel muscular (like muscles were exhausted), but rather like things just didn’t want to fire. Hard to describe.

Working shrugs to be fast/explosive on the concentric is kinda weird feeling, because it’s such a small range of motion — and it’s shrugging. I don’t quite have the weight dialed in either, but it’s close. I did feel like this is getting me something tho, so I’ll stick with it.

Anyways, things just chug along.

Current feelings? Work next week as usual. Keep carbs in check. Week after take as a deload (debating if I’ll jack-shit deload or proper deload), and I may go lo-carb that whole week to try to shed some bloat. I’ll probably get more out of it if I don’t jack-shit but do a proper deload and throw in some cardio. I have to work to keep my weight in check.
