Easy squat day. Moved the widowmaker at the end up to 107.5, which was tough to get 20, but on rep 8 I smashed the right side on the safeties and had to wobble and reset. That probably cost me a rep or two, but no biggy. Felt like the right weight to use for the next few weeks.
Day off yesterday, a bit sleepy and underfed today. Still hit a shitty little PR. More technique gains than strength gains, I dunno. Everthing after that was just repping work.
Bewbs. Ugh. Bumped my TM up to 117.5. Tried to double 120 today, but it was just not quite there after an RPS 2 struggle. The wasted energy made everything thereafter miserable.

The last few reps on that rep PR were ugly as hell, and the very last one done purely in self-defense. Not good enough.
Holy crap, I am in a funk. Took a day off yesterday for no reason other than I just didnāt feel like it. Going to go squat today, but my motivation is around zero. Gonna bit a shit-show.
It was as bad as I was expecting. No energy. I feel like I am fighting off an infection or something (which is entirely possible). Not a flu, but almost.
Whatever. Combined squat and pulling day, and got the worst of both worlds, doing basically the bare fucking minimum.
Feeling pretty okay today, but no heroics on the agenda. Just sorta combined TM and BBB. Call it BTBMB (Boring Training But Maximally Big?), but nothing here was going all out.
Bit of an eye opener today. Decided to do a bit of an easy Beefcake day on the declines, but it was not at all easy. Less carry over from inclines than I thought, so I need to do both going forward.
Oof, everything is a struggle lately and my motivation is cracking a bit. Just feeling weak and low energy again. Something is going to have to change somewhere, I am not having fun at the moment.
