running on 4-6 hours sleep last couple of days. Not a good time make. So I compromised with myself, got to the gym, and did all but the top sets. Top set of today’s workout was challenging enough.
Discovered pizza is a powerful reward. See above in thread for motivation for leg day.
Lack of sleep has to do with re-wiring my sleep schedule for a new job. Which means I’m currently gainfully employed! Yay again!

situps, because forgot ab rollout at home, and realized at the end of my workout I SO was not going to do them once I got back. at end of set, made me stagger and feel weak. Good set.

That was as far as I got. I’d been coughing like a motherfucker for my heavier sets, but suddenly I felt nausea as well and I realized I wasn’t going to make it through the rest of the workout. I stripped the bar and got outside just in time to vomit delicately on the sidewalk. Wiped the mess up with my shoe and left. Figured I wasn’t going to get any more work done tonight.
I’ve been smoking a couple or three packs a week, and its finally catching up to me. Since it’s coming down to a choice between cigarettes and leg day, I know where my priority lies. It’s going to be a bitch and a half, because a lot of my friends smoke too, but fuck it, this has got to end. This’ll be my last pack.

DL didn’t want to push. Was coughing like dead man between sets, took an hour to do anyways. Quit smoking last Saturday, hopefully my lungs will clear out by the end of the week.

I never have the time or the energy to do calves after the rest of legs. Move calves to Push day.
Back to old weights again. If I keep hitting legs 2x/week, I give it a month before I’m bumping up my working weight.
Coughing still here. If anyone has any expertise, I’d love to hear it. What happens is after I’m warming up, after my first set I get this itch in the back of my throat, towards the end of the soft palate. It brings up the feeling of needing to cough. It happens in between sets, and it increases first in intensity, so that by the end of front squats I literally sound like I’ve been smoking for 10+ years, and then it tapers off, so that by the end of deadlifts, its gone completely. Any advice on how to deal with it? I’ve quit smoking, but the cough remains.

Coughing ameliorating. Only happened during front squats. The rest was much easier.
Did legs because need to focus on this. This is what causes my squat and DL to go up, and those are two of my three lifts I’m competing with GrayCrane in. I’m making sure I get them in twice a week.
