Slept well past 0700 and woke up WITH my wife! That was heaven, and well-worth all of the inertia being “off schedule” imposed for the remainder of the morning.
This workout was a lot harder than it should’ve been, but I felt much better coming out than I did going in, so that’s a win. Warm-up sets in 10 minutes, main work in 9 minutes, 5x5 top sets in 18 minutes, assistance superset throughout.
I posted these over in the #t-ransformation2023 thread (@TrainForPain), but here are my “after” shots on this US Memorial Day holiday taken just before today’s squat workout:
And the side-by-sides or whatever you call it, with pictures from 01 January 2023 in the top row, and those from today in the bottom row:
You can read what I had to say over there, if you’re so inclined, but I’m actually pretty happy with where I am at the moment, all things considered.
Don’t get me wrong: There’s work to be done. (There’s always work to be done!) But I’m not unsatisfied with the progress I’ve made so far in 2023, so here’s a flexed photo taken just after today’s squat workout to celebrate that:
Okay, cool—celebration over.
There’s just over 7 months left in 2023… Can you imagine how much MORE PROGRESS we can make in 7 months!?!
Let’s not stop now, folks! Let’s go get it!
