Notes:

  • Felt sleepy, sluggish and shoulders felt off. Been eating more, gaining weight but had trouble staying asleep past two nights. Averaged 3-4 hours sleep each night. :grimacing: This is what I’m attributing my poor bench to. Not having trouble falling asleep…issue is staying asleep. I’ll often just wake up a bit after 4 am and can’t fall back to sleep. I have episodes like this about once a month where I go through cycles of about 2-3 days not being able to sleep well. I average closer to 5-6 hours sleep though. It’s rare for me to get 7+ hours. Sleep issues is something that runs in my family…my mom is the same as me…I think it’s genetics.
  • I think cardio helps me sleep better so won’t skip next time.
  • I replaced curls with DB rows.
