Notes
What a shitty "peak."  Ordinarily I'm pretty good at executing mini peaks.  Its basically the only thing I do since life has forced me into short run routines for the past year. In short, I tried to fit too much into a short period.  I started this 5/3/1 cycle on the 3rd or 4th of this month, finished it in 18 days, and also managed a total of 19 workouts in that time.  On top of that I played golf basically everyday. My body is sore and achy.  I played 18 holes today, and going to the gym I kind of knew what was coming.  Warming up I felt tired and weak.

I missed an incline lift, and then during deadlifts I called everything off.  I could tell I was heading down a path of self-destruction.  I've forced shit so many times in the gym I really have nothing left to prove to myself.  My hips feel awful, blah blah blah.  Anyways, in hindsight, this was still a successful run. I hit deadlift, pendlay, and press PR's. I need to rest.
