We all have tough days, but the key is to mitigate the damage as much as possible. It looks like you did a good job with that.

Nice work!

Notable things from today's checkin:
BW 177.8#, up 2.4#
Constantly in a euphoric mood, but all up in my feels when shit goes sideways at work. Likely due to starting my period 5 days early
It's easier to eat my meals without feeling like I'm force feeding, but I also can easily go longer without them. Started setting alarms so I don't skip and pile them all up at the end of the day.
Sleep still avg 8 hours, but REM sleep up from minutes to 1.5-2 hours.
Cat naps are a requirement mid day to stay functional until bed time.
Leg strength staying the same but upper body strength is skyrocketing.
Hamstrings finally joining the party in photos.

Excellent coach feedback from check in this morning

"We are looking DENSE!!"

And I got a new meal plan. More food. More chicken. Maybe she does really love me

@Bomb10shell , on cable laterals....i just tried something new today for these. I think they are called ladder raises or something like that.
Anyway, here is how it is described:

Stand like a normal cable lateral
For one rep, you will do 3 movements:
Take arm up halfway point,
then back down,
Then take arm up 3/4 point,
then back down,
Then take arm all way up to full movement.

That concludes one rep.

I did this just this morning and couldn't do many. I did a total of 7 reps on each arm for 4 sets; at a low weight (10lbs).
I seen your post about cable laterals and thought i'd interject here. Hope you don't mind.
enjoying your log by the way. You look great!

:eek::eek::oops:

I'm not sure I could complete one rep. Holy moly! But I'm totally going to try these on my next lat raise day.

I had one block that had db side lats where we did a triple drop with partials.

So full rep then half rep for how many ever reps I was supposed to do, Drop 5#, reps, drop 5#, reps.

I cried the whole time.
