Ok so I really do feel beat up. Not doms, but rather “hit by a bus”.
Kind of fascinating.
Nutrition and recovery and sleep is pretty on point. (I’ve been working with a sleep medicine doc and a psychiatric np, so it’s a legit statement.)
Yet I feel like this, from such little work. The bulgarian-ish daily max stuff and deadlift everyday and even 20 rep squat stuff wasn’t even like this.
People around me are getting sick, so that’s an X factor. I don’t think that’s it, but maybe.
The change to “0 RIR” training is the only actual explanation I’ve got.
I’m going to give it at least another month before making changes, assuming joint pain stays manageable. Some stuff at both shoulders, right elbow, and top of my sternum right now.
If someone told me they felt like how I do from what little I’m doing, I’m not even sure I’d believe them…
Related, I thought this was a pretty good thread. Same cast of characters but everyone has matured a lot. And interesting to see some of the “new” theory being discussed.

All that said, I am actually happy with what’s happening in the mirror, and the mirror with camera. It seems to be working in that sense.
