I did chest today and my strength was way down. i was putting up 115x8 for my incline db press 3 days ago and today i could only get 110x5. WHATS WRONG WITH ME???!!!!
:sad:
:sad:
Possibly because of CNS fatigue.my sleep was good last night. maybe too good? i ALWAYS eat good and a lot. sometimes if i go tanning before i lift it sucks but today "should" have been good to go. could me deadlifting yesterday effected my chest today?
oh my god! NO WAY! my wife wants to sometimes but i HAVE to shoot her down. if you have no MOJO then the workout will suck.Sex before going to the gym. Ugh!!
that was my first instinct as well. 2 major bodyparts in back to back workouts could cause this. have you taken a day off since your last chest day?Possibly because of CNS fatigue.
nope. might take wed offthat was my first instinct as well. 2 major bodyparts in back to back workouts could cause this. have you taken a day off since your last chest day?
very very good points. thanks.Sometimes I just have bad workout days and I don't dtress about it, but realize that somthing is not right, go home and start afresh the next day.
You can't expect perfect workouts all the time.
The most common reasons for me to have a bad workout are:
Hydration - I can get dehydrated without realizing it, I tend to workout for long periods at a time (3-4 hours) and its hard to replenish my fluid during that time.
Sleep - I may have been in my bed for 8 hours, but the quality of my sleep may have equalled only 4 hours worth. Perhaps I was too hot and was tossing a turning a lot, or getting up a lot to pee (that keeping hydrated thing has its downfalls). So, you may think you had a good nights sleep, but be unaware of a restless night.
Carbs - Not getting enough carbs can lead to terrible muscle fatigue for me. Glycogen is so important to keeping us going through workouts, and if I have not eaten properly at the right time before working out, I crash easily.
Rest - I am probably the worst person for overtraining. But there are times when I think I am recovered because my muscles are not sore anymore, but I can't lift as much. When I give it a couple more days after the soreness subsides, I have a much better workout.
Mood - I find that music can really change my mood. If I have a high intensity song on my ipod, I find it gives me a better workout. Lifting to a slow song makes me lift less and my workouts suck.
Hope that helps.
i think that might have a lot to do with it. i always stress about not eating to much before the gym. like no food for over 2 hours before because of my pre workout cocktails. but to be honest the best chest day i had was last week and i had something to eat like 30 min before the gym.Poor nutrient timing..ie not timing pre WO meals and shakes right.
I feel like a shake of whey and oats is a good substitute 30 minutes before your workout because you won't have that crazy full stomach feeling and you'll have a nutritious pre workout shake to keep you going through the workout. I use 2 scoops of whjey, 1 cup of oats and I blend them in 2 cups of water with ice cubes.i think that might have a lot to do with it. i always stress about not eating to much before the gym. like no food for over 2 hours before because of my pre workout cocktails. but to be honest the best chest day i had was last week and i had something to eat like 30 min before the gym.
Yeah, just a little...Your hormones might be slightly fluctuating,
HAHAHA yeah i do talk $hit to heavy DB before a set.Some days we just simply don't bring out "A" game. Think of it like losing a sports event against a rivaled opponent, best thing to do is shake it off, kick ass next time, and shove it in their face. (That just gave me a mental image of Chad talking smack to a pair of 115lb dumbbells lying near a bench.) :toofunny:
Thank god it's not just me!! My 120's called me a pvssy yesterday! That was the second time too!It's when they start talking back that you need to start worrying.
Hey! That wasn't funny!!Dumbells talking to dumbells! :toofunny:
:run:
LOL:clap2: :rofl:HAHAHA yeah i do talk $hit to heavy DB before a set.
" you little mother@#$%ers!!! you better stay up there till i say so!!!"
hahahaha. :rofl:Thank god it's not just me!! My 120's called me a pvssy yesterday! That was the second time too!
