Cycle 10 – 1s Week: BP: 1/4/12

Solid 6-7 hour sleep and possibly an hour nap before work.
Felt decent enough as I left my apartment and slightly better as I arrived at the gym. (6/10)
Still training under fast and I think today is one of those days I should have ate something beforehand.
Energy level dipped slightly as I started doing my rows but didn’t drop any more the rest of the session (5/10).

Still feeling old with my body issues bothering me a bit.
Left Hip still feeling sore and I think it was definitely from a bench press session a while ago.
Left shoulder is sore too and unsure where I got that.
Right wrist is weak and also not sure how I did that.
I know about my right elbow tendinitis and still; is not 100%.

Aside from that I think I actually had a good session!

Weights still feels light.
Left hip started acting out on the 1st work set but didn’t notice it on the 2nd.
Figured out how I hurt my left hip during the top work set.
As I was doing the 5th rep on the top work set I started losing my tightness.
Pulled my left hip area trying to compensate and stopped from there.
I think I could have done 1-2 more reps if I was able to stay tight and not pull my left hip area.

Think Leangains and fasted training has weakened me slightly.
I remember having the ability to do this with more weight and have a more difficult time today.
Still a few extra reps compared to the last time.
But maybe it is due to my body has less that 100% in various joints.

5 x 10

30 second rest first 4 rests and then 60 second rest the last set.
Felt difficult today and burns!

Made a few more mistakes than usual today.
Probably my body is just tired.
