I'm the biggest baby when it comes to getting vacc'd: I'm useless for the next few days after. So no shade thrown!

I've been told (though I haven't checked the veracity of the claim) that walks and massages can help you get through the "ugh" period a bit more quickly. I assume it's a bit of a myth, but it might be worth trying?

I have also heard that light to moderate exercise can be helpful in getting through it faster, though I asked the pharmacist about that on Thursday and she wasn't in favor of it. I did crash physically a good bit after my workout on Friday, so... Maybe something lighter, like walking, would have indeed been better.

Leg day yesterday. Someone was on the leg press (or not? they were hanging out by it and there were weights on it), so I had to swap out for single leg press on the horizontal machine. It was fine? I'm not as strong as I was at the beginning of the semester, but I feel like I can get back on track.

Three weeks smoke free as of today. The diet starts today.

174.2

Upper at about 80%, still 1 set per, to failure, so a bit more reps, better form, all that good stuff.

Renos also, suck.

177 this morning? Hello?

Dinner was late, didn't sleep great, but wtf.

Didn't muster the motivation for the gym last night, disappointing myself a bit. Probably no chance tonight, so tomorrow after work I'll commit to. Sleep at least has been better, getting some good rest.

High sodium dinner? Water retention?

High sodium dinner? Water retention?

Maybe a bit higher, but dinner was way late, as my gym session didn't start till an 1.5 hours late...and then wife and I went to the beach, I don't know, weird.

All the dust (SO MUCH DUST) could be messing me up, throat feels pretty bad.

So, 177 this morning, 178 at the gym, tells you where my food and hydration was today. 0.

Legs, in my deload. Worked on form, getting deep into squats, core. Didn't bother with Press.

Tomorrow and Thursday I'm taking it easy and running stuff to storage, which I got signed up today.

Friday...heavy Upper, deloading sucks too lol

No Gym or weigh in yesterday.
Weigh in this morning, 177. Another 'huh?' from me on that one.

More dust work today, about to lose it over the state of my place. Early call tomorrow, and hopefully the ceiling restore is done so I can...spend all day Saturday cleaning?

I did get in yesterday after work. I did NOT like how warm it was in there with it hitting 70 degrees outside.

Wednesday 4/15:

• Smith inclined barbell bench 105x12 pause +2, 105x11 +100x2, 105x9 +100x2, 100x7 +95x2. Pretty comparable to last time. Maybe a tiny bit of progress.
• Machine biceps curls 75x25, 75x18, 75x18. Pretty steady, which I'll take after I recently increased weight slightly.
• Rear delt flies: 90x17, 90x15, 90x15 (+1 rep, steady, steady). This felt good and had that tiny bit of progress despite not having done this one in a couple of weeks. I do think this works well alongside the chest and biceps.
