Still probably getting in the gym every other day lately. Going by how my body feels each morning, so no workout yesterday. Legs today.
A few random notes:
- Knees are still popping. Will definitely get some more joint support with my next order.
- Got my Cerberus 2-ply knee sleeves in! Definitely solid and thick construction. Bought large and it's still fairly snug.
- My calves are pathetically small.
- Everything today just felt tiring / quad dominant.

Well, the sleeves definitely give just a little push out of the hole. Not really to "move" the weight per se, but just feels at the bottom that I won't get stuck. Noticed it on the set of 220#. Kept it still lighter than I'd have liked today, as I started out 6 weeks or so ago working with sets of 265#, but tbh I almost backed out of today's leg session. Even with the new lifting gear - which I usually get excited about - I just didn't have the desire this AM. Very unlike me, but sacked up. That's what this game is about, right?? Mentally, I know I need a vacation. Work has been a rough pace lately, so the holiday coming up is definitely at the right time.
