Beginning Thoughts:

My sleeping patterns have been really poor over the last few weeks and this week was really terrible. Too much late night goofing around lol.... However, I have been dieting really hard and my calorie deficit really played me today: I had zero motivation to hit the gym and I think that played a huge role in today's outcome.

Workout:

Deadlifts:
405 lbs x 1 rep
395 lbs x 5 reps
410 lbs x 1 rep
400 lbs x 5 reps
415 lbs x 1 rep
405 lbs x 4 reps
I did beat last week's numbers but I am pissed off at myself because:
(a) I could've done 405x5 but I lost focus, motivation and confidence
(b) I had zero motivation during the workout and I think on several sets my form broke down a but
Next week I am going to nail this.

Overall Impression:

I've been hitting the gym really hard over the last 3 weeks. So the rest of this week is gonna be very low volume and a might skip a session or two. We'll see how things go.

The plan for next mesocycle is around the same as it was for this one. I am going to be following this tweaked version of Poliquin's 1-6 Principle for Deadlifts, I will be sticking to Military Presses if I can continue to progress at 5lbs a week for 6x3 and if I fail it will be quality volume or singles for the exercise. Regarding Squat Day, I have OH Squats and Back Squats for that day.

I hope everyone's having a good week so far. Tomorrow's Friday and I am very happy for that!
