I've gained almost 10 pounds (prob all fat) since end of summer. I have lost substantial stamina and I am sure at least a little bit of strength. Eat better. Drink less. Get more sleep. Work out more.
Went to the gym already a little tired with plans of finally conquering that 5 thruster/7 clean/10 SDLHP workout (AMRAP in 20) AND maybe a core session too. I did that many months ago and at least made an effort through the whole 20 min even though only came out with a 5.5 score. ANYWAY, I cranked out 4 rounds in about 8 minutes (after a little stretching, bar pressing and squatting warmup) and I was so out of breath, muscle-fatigued and my forearms were screaming. I guess I could have kept going slowly, massaging my forearms in between reps to keep em from
exploding, but I bailed. And was too tired for a full core circuit workout. VERY disappointing.
Lay off heavy lifting a little and focus on stamina with complexes and other circuits, as well as GPPs and stuff. Incorporate more pull-ups too.
Weighed in at 181.5. Blech.
