My quads are still a little sore from this weekend, and I worked out at home, so I wasn’t equipped for heavier deadlifts this morning. I usually go 115+ when I have access to the squat rack at the gym. I made up for the lighter weight by focusing on form. DB flat chest press and rows both went up to 40 lbs and 37.5 lbs respectively.

Depending on how my legs are feeling tonight, I may or may not do core and intervals (either bodyweight circuit, outdoor sprints or 22 minutes of plyometrics). If I’m still sore after work, I’ll just stick to yoga, forza or tai chi for tonight.

I don’t have a personal training session this week until Friday morning, and frankly, I am enjoying the break. I’ve been feeling a bit bonked out since I started cutting again while still lifting 5 days a week. I’m going to partially switch to my new workout schedule this week with just three days of lifting to see if that makes a difference. Chris is currently sick with his second cold of this winter, so it’s possible that I am fighting off the same bug even though I haven’t developed any symptoms beyond a general feeling of tiredness and weakness in my workouts so far.
