Oh trust me my sleeps are not always good. I was noting the good one because it was out of the ordinary. ha

The gym was insane busy today. Waited 25min for a bench and got cut in front of twice. Then we couldn't get on the dip bars so we did pull ups.

New years resolution fools.

Wow you are having such a very good buildup..

Tried to do as many reps with double overhand grip as I could. I fell off the bandwagon with my gripper trainer, unfortunately so my forearms could use some help.

We switched our accessories around between Monday and Thursday. Dips seemed to go a bit better today but pull ups went a bit worse on Monday. I think bench just takes a bit more out of me than MP.

I find myself dreading squats... I feel like they should go better but they just don't and they feel awful. Hopefully I shape up soon.

I thought I would be able to do more on the last set but I really died off on set 3. Oh well. I think it's a PR 3x10 anyway.

Well I think I may start doing more workouts like this... work heavy and go down as I get tired. I think it makes more sense in a high volume type workout where you really die off to the end.

My chest flies never seem to improve but I'm not too concerned about it. ha

My weight dropped like crazy of the weekend ... I won't get into the details but lets just say ... uhhhh ... shit happens. Sometimes literally. lol

Tried starting heavy and working down with DLs. It definitely feels better than trying to go up as you're getting more tired. I also tried doing double overhand grip as much as possible and then when I need to switch to over-under I did it the opposite way. My lower right back gets tweaked easily from always DL'ing with my right hand supinated. Hoping I can balance things out if I start switching it up more and avoid some strains.

Leg press was busy so we sub'ed in lunges. A real @ss burner if you haven't done them in a while.
