I like using a word doc with notes on it, basically walking me through how to build whatever it is I’m building. Whenever I make a new mistake, I update the document to make sure I don’t repeat it.

Way back when we’d do something like this on old Tandy and TI and Commodore computers:
10 print “fuck”
20 goto 10
Run (enter)

This mirror a thing I did as a TA.
I’d go over the student submissions and write down common errors and assign them a key. I’d explain the problem more generally, and give examples on how to fix it in a generic sense as opposed to guiding any one particular student on how to fix their iteration of that specific problem.
For any given submission I was bound to come up with keys that needed to be fixed before being given a passing grade, and some that I could be more lenient with. I published the keys and the corresponding comments from me and also made it explicit that I had the expectation that on subsequent submission students wouldn’t commit any previous offenses that I had “published” on assignments prior thereby driving the behaviour in my students to maintain a “flight-check” manual to go over before submitting new assignments.
Submission by submission the error rate dropped quite drastically, making it so that once I had a set of students that I got to follow through several courses I had less and less work to do.
I miss being a TA sometimes.

- felt pretty good going in, bench harder expected but felt strong and kept a good pace to get the work in, got HR up, very very nervous for deadlifts tomorrow…
This program is a LOT harder than expected, maybe it’s because I jumped in without taking enough time after Sheiko ended???

I don’t recall if the grading standard stated that he’d do this, but I remember that he spent a good bit of time in one session talking about how horrible they are, why we should avoid them whenever possible, and how to do so. I think he also said he doesn’t want to see them in any paper.
Depending on when you last took a deload/ recovery week this could be an issue. If i recall you were feeling close to unwell recently before starting this program so that also could be a factor as your potentially your body was simultaneously preventing you from falling sick and recovering from the workouts
It could also be modifications made to the program (if you made any as I am not familiar?)

I took a proper deload before testing, did one workout to make up missed work the day after testing, took a day off, then jumped into GZCL
I was just tired and feeling crappy but I think it’s more from Game Theory not going well than anything real
I didn’t really modify the program. I’m doing slightly different T2 and T3 exercises than the template but those are meant to be customized based on needs
I’m also adding in a 5-10 min conditioning piece on 4/5 workouts but that’s not a big deal
I’m not sure what’s happening. The weights don’t feel too heavy or unmanageable, but I’m having a lot of trouble with the lower body workouts- things like feeling dizzy after sets, losing coordination and stumbling. THis has never happened before
Have I not read this before?
Wasn’t that common when you were training in the morning, fasted, and then walking home with no post-workout nutrition?
I’ve never stumbled around in the middle of a workout or got dizzy when I was doing submax work
How’s your pre workout nutrition?
I workout fasted (30min after waking up when the gym opens)
Why?
eating too soon before a workout messes with my digestion → can’t push the workout
even drinking too much water causes problems

Well, I think there lies your problem.
hmm, I’ve always done workouts fasted.
Maybe this program is just more difficult
You’re unnecessarily limiting performance.
I suspect the fasting stems more from habits you developed while trying to remain as skinny as possible vs. your actual constraints.

I used to train fasted for similar reasons, but stopped. Not so much because I couldn’t get through workouts, but because I was crashing pretty hard and useless for an hour after training even if I had a meal right after. What I did, was just opt for something light as a starting point and slowly work my way up to figure out what would work. Right now, a small-ish bowl of oatmeal (~around 80g dry weight, made with as little water as possible for my tastes) eaten between 30-60 minutes before training solves the crashing problem, and I don’t have any stomach issues either. For me the keys were not going too high in terms of total volume or liquid content.
Have you been training fasted this whole time?
yes.
Anna!!! You’re probably much stronger than you think
Please eat before training
