^^^^^ I agree. 25 reps was probably plenty. I am usually happy with 16 good reps. Lately it seems like I get so little done, so i want to go for it when I can even when its too much.

The last couple of weeks I have cut out friday basketball, and am feeling better for it.

Been sleeping real well lately and my back is the best it has been in years. Todays squats were garbage so I called it a day, but last saturday I could have got 6x245 but I went soft mentally and reracked it for a 10 count. That's progress.

The gym was closed for a week, or I probably would have played.

I feel like I play an adequate amount of basketball, but I need to cut back on work and kids.

It does seem like it limits the amount of progress I can make on lifts though. Everything is kinda a cumulative drain for me,

giving me excuses and low motivation to go get it.

i can do a (lot of) full pistol(s) and i am good at crossfit and bad at performance. 

I could die happy tomorrow with your current no-pads performance, Always been in awe of your ability to grind through everything. Keep it up!

I can also knock out pistols and shrimps with ease, but 1.5bw+ on a barbell and I fall apart.

Most mornings that I play basketball I usually do about 20 pull ups, but for some strange reason last week I tweaked my neck doing them. Not sure how that happened? Sometimes you don't realize how good you are feeling until you don't.

The last week has been challenging. Trying to get back into the groove. Basketball and cardio are coming back, weights are still a-miss.
My body loses fitness like lightning and makes progress at continental drift. Granted training is far from a priority and much less then ideal.
Good news is lots of room for improvement. I am going to focus on getting my reps up on my squat, as well as the weight. nice and simple.
2 or 3 days a week of basketball depending how I am feeling. No more upper body weights, just body weight movement when time allows.
More sleep and keep my diet in check a little bit better. Plus just keep on grinding.

peaks and valleys. some days I wonder why I even bother.

I can't seem to keep my upper back tight and my spine neutral through the lift. When things are going good I feel locked and can actually progress. other days not so much.

On a positive note it was actually better then last Saturday.
