Deadlift day is the best day!
So, this week hasn't gone quite as planned and honestly its ok. I was planning on pulling Tuesday. I have had a ton of life stress as most of us do, been one thing after another. I haven't been sleeping, started drinking. Nothing too serious few beers after work or a couple rum/dr.peppers. But, this is out of the norm for myself. I went in tired as fuck Tuesday maybe 2 hours sleep and tried pulling. I made it to 405 and couldn't even get the damn thing off the floor. At this point I kinda just laughed and went home. I rested for the day, took Wednesday off as well and came back today and just made deads my bitch!
1. Deads: 80%, programmed for top set of 8 and hit 9 for a rep pr
2. Pendelay row: top set 405x3, then dropped to 225 for AMRAP (death)
3. Lat pulldown: 5x20
4: Hammer Row: 3x12
5: Barbell upright row: 5x15
I am not going to bullshit anyone on here, lifes fucking hard sometimes. Everything is not perfect. Work, life, relationships, friends etc all can get stressful. Sometimes I get depressed, don't feel like lifting, want to quit etc. People need to realize that the vision people put out there on social media is their BEST vision of them. Fuck that, I struggle daily with a lot of things. I am no where near perfect. I fuck up lots. Thank fuck for my girlfriend. She knows when to kick my ass into gear and when to settle me down. That is key to anything I believe. Having that partner you trust to have your best interests at heart even when you don't!
Thanks for following me on this journey to nationals, sorry for the little rant here. Might happen time to time. Whatever it is you do, do it with passion and kick life right in the damn dick!!
Happy easter everyone.
