This week, I had a chance to go and get a small lift session in twice this week.
Ugh...definitely feel my gains starting to slip away. But yet, when I lift, even though it doesn't feel as streamlined (probably because I'm tired, and just don't feel in the groove of lifting) I can still lift somewhat decent although my weight that I am attempting to push is a lot less then what I would be if I consistently lifted and pushed a bit more in weight each week.
I've been going through so much stuff lately that it has taken a toll on me mentally and physically. Lifting helps me to re-shape and re focus. On thursday, I did a full workout spread because I can probably only put in 2 - 3 days out of the week maybe to get a lift session in.
Today, I did a semi spread of mainly chest and some legs/back. Not too bad. I was able to hit 75 chest bench on the dumbells for a good 6 reps.
I'm confident I can probably hit 80's to 85's but will not attempt because my supplementary muscles are probably not up to where I want them to be so I won't end up hurting myself.
One of the most crucial lifting things I've learned over the years is that if you push too hard without knowing when to pump the brakes, it can lead to injury which will definitely cut you back a long time.
