OK, so I took Monday off due to inclement weather - I know that usually, in the gym that shouldn’t mean much - but in my case it did. Anyways, I knew I would pick up the workout on the next day - which I did. I was feeling pretty unmotivated and weak - but managed to pull off a pretty intense workout.

Hit dumbbell flat bench presses at 85lbs - not a record, but after 3×8-10, I was definitely feeling it. Followed that up with incline flyes at 30-40lbs at 10-12 reps. I mixed shoulders and back into one giant set: reverse grip pulldowns (110lbs), one-arm upright row(60lbs), lying reverse flye (20lbs dumbbells) and then wide grip pullup to failure. 3 sets of that and I was wasted!!

Finished off with a medium weight set of barbell shrugs (185lb) and drug my sorry ass inside - my contacts were giving me a helluva headache - which ended up waking me up at 3am with a migraine………..ok, now I’m just *****ing.

I guess the point is - that if you can, you should just soldier on. Even on your "not so great" days - there really is no reason not to give it an intense effort.

On to the next stage!
