Regarding the caffeine intake, I think it's got like 6-8 hrs half life. So realistically that energy drink or coffee mid-afternoon is still going to be around even if you don't "feel" it by 10-11 PM (from say a 3 PM coffee). I know I do this at times and shouldn't, but damn I love those canned...
This hits. It's hard being the only fitness minded person among a bunch of normies. [emoji38] But honestly, sometimes you don't even know who is into what until you ask!
Glad to see you on here more again.
Ah dang man, hate to see you down for the count! 70% capacity right now is no joke. Rest up, lots of fluids, etc. The loss of taste thing has to be really weird. But I do remember when I had it, I was super fatigued from basic stuff - can't imagine trying to workout while having COVID.
I also use it as my alarm to wake me up in the AM to workout, since I get up before everyone else in the house and don't want to wake up my wife. So the buzz on my arm does the trick!
You could probably find a used fitbit (non-smart watch version) pretty cheap 2nd hand if you just wanted to...
And to be clear, my lower motivation recently was only work related. Not gym related! [emoji28]
I have no issues motivating myself or having discipline when it comes to lifting or working out. Honestly, it's one of my favorite activities. You tell me a perfect day, and it will always involve...
That's correct. I wear my fitbit at night so it records both my sleep cycle information and my daily readiness score, which is based on a few factors - including resting heart rate, sleep duration & consistency, and heart rate variability.
Today's score for example was 52.
I've seen as low...
Thank you, brother.
Yes! Two weeks now! Still planning the itinerary.
On a separate note, my new Notorious Lifters just came in and they look fantastic! I'm super stoked to test them out. The heel support and the overall structure is actually much more substantial than I was expecting given...
Wow, that wood piece is really cool! Is that really the natural color like that??
Also, killer PRs! Making me look like I'm using baby weights. Literally just mogged me. [emoji38][emoji28]
Perspective is all over the place at the moment. Life stuff at home. Going to try and put it aside.

Yeah, I almost did that instead yesterday. Just some light KB / DB RDLs work. But opted to hit some back and Biceps instead.
Ended up deciding that the best course for me this AM was to live to fight another day. Which seems the right move since my Readiness score was way down coming off of work...
So, my lower back (actually i think it's more maybe even towards my gluteus medius) was bugging me a little bit this week. So not sure it was better or worse to not have my deload deads tbh.
Do you think I should still perform the deload sets this week? Either double up on a day, or maybe put it...
Traveling for work and an all-day meeting plus work social / dinner after yesterday. No time for a workout due to my schedule. At least I slept half decent in the hotel last evening.

Those looks pretty fresh! I'm always looking for an upgrade to my shoe game, something that I can put time in casually or also at work on a dress down day. Will be curious what the more "dress" versions look like.
