Today was OK.

I hit decent numbers, but it wasn’t quite what I wanted. My breathing was all off for whatever reason, which affects my setup, which affects my stability, and everything from there. And this was new: all 5 reps of the 175 were literally shaking — my legs were all jittery. Never had that before.

Not totally unhappy with the 5, but I wanted at least 6.

Then during the 185 I originally planned for 1, but did 2 because I was upset at the prior set and I felt I could do it. Should have gone for 3 because… but oh well. Not part of the plan.

So, it was what it was.

Everything else was groovy. I was running out of gas, towards the end but kept pushing. I mean, I didn’t want to do biceps curls — something’s seriously wrong. 😉 But yeah, that pooped.

I wish I could take a mid-day nap, but current work project is unrelenting. Still, I need to find a way to work it in – it’ll do me a lot of good. I’m glad next week is deload.
