I woke up dizzy and by the time I got to the gym the whole room was spinning. No idea why. I didn’t drink at all this weekend and I got my usual 6 hours of sleep so I am kind of confused by that but at least my pneumonia is gone.

I was really playing around with my form today and was doing my best to emulate the So you think you can squat videos. My knees are still really like to cave in when the weight gets heavy so weak hamstrings? I don’t know but I am going to work on them for a while anyways see how that goes.
Your numbers have gone up nicely, impressive!
Thank you for the words, I try.

I probably could have gotten my third rep of 260 but no spotter and didn’t feel like pushing to failure anyways. I was messing with my elbow position throughout my sets to try and tuck them in but in the process it felt like I lost all the pop off my chest. I will figure it out.

Not really a training update but just got burnt to a crisp pulling targets all day at the range. Red hair plus sun equals no bueno. And I can’t get to the gym til Monday. Loving life.

And by this time I was bleeding pretty good so I called it quits before everything got covered.
First pin ever last night. Holy fuck. I do not like needles. To exacerbate the situation it took a good minute to draw the syringe and another to inject. All the while I am light headed and want to throw up (I used to pass out after regular shots or the one time I gave blood I literally hit the floor). Such is life

So finibars are fantastic as something in the belly preworkout as I normally just wake up and go in hungry. Energy levels through the roof. Who would have thought blood sugar had that much effect? And thankfully no PIP from last night.
