Back in town after three days of business travel, which went well. Hot and humid for SD, which isn't saying much. Sweating like a pig, though.
Started with B-Ala/creatine mix and Spiked.
DL w/ belt x2@8 + -10%: reached 250kg; got three fatigue sets; last work set (pre-fatigue) was a true RPE=10 -- ground it out; very certain the national Masters IB record is within reach
SSB squat x4@8.5 + -10%: reached 265kg and couldn't move anything more
Good mornings x6@9 + -10%: used the SSB since it was already in the rack; hit 200kg and couldn't even start another rep
Too toasted from the earlier effort to do anything more. Often I'm finding my zeal for the first movement is killing my performance in the last two. So it goes. Anyone watching would be amused, though.
Weight is doing okay. Melting off the lard was going well until the travel -- that always blunts progress, as the rubber chicken dinners and way too much boozing seriously hampers things. It's not like I get drunk, but every dinner has wine (a big sushi dinner had sake, of course) and every dinner is huge. Without the benefit of training to at least make it pseudo-backloading. Plus, eating during the day is tough, if not impossible, because of meetings and presentations. This trip including exhibiting, so it was worse than usual. On top of it, I don't remember ever having consumed so much coffee in a three day span.
Anyway, back on the train. We'll see how long it takes to get progress back on track.
Off to eat. Thanks for checking in.
