I’m just not that strong (yet)!

Boy whatever our family had was fast to hit, but slow to leave. Didn’t eat most of Saturday and appetite was low yesterday. Trying to have a normal day of eating and drinking before getting back to lifting. I stepped on the scale Sunday and I was down 5 lbs… crazy!

Definitely get the bodyweight/hydration in order before training again. You’re much more vulnerable when things aren’t well-hydrated, nor will you have much strength or gusto.

I wanted to get to it this morning, but I just didn’t feel like it at all. I feel like as today has progressed I’ve felt more like myself. Admittedly I’m not great at drinking water so I’m trying to drink a bit like every 15 minutes. Appetite seems to have returned so that’s good!

Bench
155x5x5

Assistance
BW Push-up 3x10
Leg Raise 3x10
Row 3x8

Top set of squats felt a little heavier than last week… this was expected. Kept the assistance light, and very basic. I ate good, and slept pretty solidly last night. Man whatever we had was pretty rough. Compounded by our two year old, and one year old also having it. Yikes. Have a great Tuesday!

Welcome back. Like Hyde said, get back to hydration/normal eating before going too hard.

Today was a repeat of my first session last week. I subbed in pushups instead of dips, and everything seemed okay. I’m going to continue to eat, sleep and drink lots of water.
