Overall Impression
ok lots of things to discuss
1.) diet
i have fall break right now. this weekend. 99% of cafeteria food stations are shut. the only places which are open are the pizza and deli. i hate the deli. so i have to settle for pizza. thank god i bought cans of tuna 3 days ago
2.) workout
i played 3 hours of non-stop raquet ball last night. so m entire right shoulder was throbbing. add to that the fact that i have shoulder injuries on both my shoulders. i couldnt do CGBP coz my elbow wasnt getting locked correctly and it felt wierd. so i did a few light sets with 110 lbs. as for everything else: fantastic. i put in my all. MPs were the best though. really killed me.
3.) thoughts
somewhere down the line of exercises i suddenly felt like giving up. CGBP is my fav pressing exercise after incline. and since i couldnt do it today i was really low. and i thought of quitting dc altogether. but then i remembered this post by iron addict;

Change their routine—often to a totally different format. Why? Well, the routine quit working, anyone could tell that! Well, anyone would be wrong in a lot of cases. All that is happening a good percent of the time is the trainee is due for a deload, or cruise. As long as you haven’t been hammering the same exact format for an extended period of time, (as in same lifts, not rotation on lifts, same sets and reps) what you likely need is a week or two of deloading, not an entire new routine.

and it hit me. why was i so fucked? because my nutrition was shit for today and yesterday and so will it be for the next 2 days. and as i sipped my gatorade i quietly thought to myself how easy it wud've been to quit dc altogether. and i felt good coz i know im not gonna. i think this is called mental growth lol.
on the whole: decent last 2 days. cardio was awesome aka 3 hours of non stop raquetball. and today's workout was good too. i dont think ive mentioned this, but right now i am hitting PRs on ALL lifts except squat and deadlift and SLDL. other than that ALL lifts are PRs.
peace
