Had to train a good six hours earlier than I would normally, so strength was well down due to lack of food and a poorly working CNS. Quite frustrating!

Good luck with your goals man, great workouts in here.

Pretty sick today - spewed before AND after training! Should have listened to my better judgement and just taken the day off but that's in hindsight. Gonna have a week off training now, feel a little beat up.

Aug 17

Speed Squats
175 x 1 x 8

175 is about 40% of my 1RM, so these were pretty damn quick.

Elevated Conventional Deadlift
365 x 5
365 x 4
365 x 4

My whole posterior chain was very tight during these, and it was quite uncomfortable. I haven't properly done conventional deadlifts for about.... three years, but I thought I'd be a little bit stronger on these.

Assisted Glute Ham Raise
BW x 8
BW x 6
BW x 6
BW x 6

Easier than last week, but still pretty brutal.

Wow, again, by the time I do my DB pressing my chest and triceps are fried. I wonder what I can do fresh.

Did some heavy deadlifts today... strength is still way down for some reason; I feel as if my body has "forgotten" how to do the lift.

I'm also getting a little fat: 220 at 13%?

Sumo Deads
485 x 2

6 weeks ago I pulled 530 for 2... wtf. I'm not overtrained, I'm not dieting.. I have NFI what's going on. I'm the strongest I've ever been on every other lift, but my deads are going backwards.
