Today was a mixture of crappy and great performances. I did terrible on the squat. My goal was to get to 210 and I completely failed at that. I put 170 on my back and nearly fell over twice. I just could not get it up. I did ok on press, I knew that I would peter out in the 60s. But I absolutely killed it on deadlift. I was able to pick up 200lbs, which was 10lbs over my last PR. I was all over the place this morning. So I think I know why my squat was so crappy this morning. Three factors: 1. I had drink last night with dinner and I felt somewhat groggy this morning. Although some may say it’s only one drink, that was enough to affect my body. This tells me that I cannot drink before workouts because I don’t recover fast enough. Even one small drink really affects me. 2. I went to bed late. I’ll admit it, I was up watching True Blood when I should have been sleeping. I need more sleep to be stronger. 3. I’ve been eating too much crap again. Slowly but surely, I’ve been bad and falling off the Caveman Wagon. I need to eat better so that my body isn’t all in flux. It really shows in my lifts. So then why did I pull a PR in deadlift? It’s simple really: Sheer willpower. I was so embarrassed by my squat I had to make it up in the last event. So just think about how much more I could have pulled if I had taken care of the other three factors.
Just goes to show you that the fuel you put into your body really does make a difference.
So truly, I have no one to blame but myself and this is the price I pay for not being stricter with my diet again. Back on the wagon I go.
