 :(

me2. my sleep is wrecked lately.. but mostly just the time i fall asleep and wakeup, not the amount of hours total.. sub-optimal total sleep is the worst.

sleep is so damn important, don't neglect it! I made the mistake of getting too obsessed with work etc a few times and sacrificing sleep, worst mistake i've ever made.. The turning point was when my heart started 'racing' every time i'd try and go to sleep.. Scared the shit out of me. I was getting 4-5 hours many nights, even some sleepless nights.. Man it was horrible.

Really happy about my bench going up again. Estimated max is 285lbs, wow! I feel like a 315lb bench is finally going to be within reach one day. But we'll see lol.

I was very lazy this workout (yet PR'd) so I didn't do much. Throwing in lateral raises with lower body tomorrow.

Been so lazy lately to lift. Missed 2 lower body workouts in a row :(
At least my bench is increasing. Planned to do lateral raises with legs tomorrow


===============

woke up today (tue) and weighed in at 206lbs. whoaaaaaaa.
time to do intermittent fasting and start cutting slowly! not tracking calories until i really have to. goal is 195lbs. I don't think I have to get to 190lbs anymore. I should have more muscle on me at this point, but we'll see!

lol! :d

seems to happen easier with upper body push based exercises IMHO .. they can create some significant mental drain.
