both of those felt amazing and I was so happy with how those sets went so I had high hopes for my AMRAP set. So I put on my belt, but I guess I was a little bloated from last night’s supper so my belt felt toooOO tight, I got 185lbs x 6 again, but on the 6th rep I thought I was going to shart (shit/fart) so I racked it.
Waited a bit…
put on my belt again, but not so tight

185lbs x 11 , this set sucked/ Didn’t have focus, kept thinking about the previous set. Some reps were high, some were crooked, but im sure my head is making it out to be way worse than it actually was

made myself do some unplanned beltless back off sets as punishment, heh.

k that was good, but my back off sets feeling wonky made me really upset and then I started getting OCD and kept squatting (I def. did more than just 2 sets of 3 for my back off but I wasn’t counting a bunch of imperfect ones, w/e) Just let my mind get the best of me/ TOO MUCH CORTISOL/ TMC
BUT I am going to keep using my belt for tempo/paused work because I find that even though it makes me feel stronger, I find it really hard to connect with my glutes the second the belt goes on, IDK. also maybe a tendency to be more crooked… we’ll see if controlled work helps at all during my AMRAP sets .

and k done.

honestly cant wait for this cycle to be over so I can have a deload day for each of my lifts and start the next cycle with more rest and patience.

I’m going to plan 2 rest days per week 2 squat days and one deadlift day
I am currently squatting every other day and while my numbers are going up, my hips and I are not getting along…

KBYE
