Notes
Finally hit a new 1 rep on BTN press. Only 5 pounds, but its a PR. 135x12 is a 4 rep jump over my prior PR. I was so close to 200, I just ran out of juice. I have it in me, and I'm hitting that shit before I move on from this exercise.
Strength can be a weird thing. I've been sick, my triceps were sore as fuck today, and I completely annihilated my biceps walking halfway across the city with 2 pumpkins. I wasn't even going to lift tonight, but its been so sporadic I basically forced myself so I didn't lose anything. In short, my strength should've sucked. But it didn't. So who fucking knows.
I've pretty much given up on trying to time shit or account for all the variables. Sometimes sleep matters, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes diet matters, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes stress is a strength killer, and sometimes its a motivator. The list goes on and on. I enjoy structure and I think its great to have a plan. At the same time, building in a little flexibility seems to be working well for me.
