Saturday was fantastic, tough, but fantastic.

Monday was a bust. I'm blaming my sore hips, tight back and the new addition of warmer spring weather. Give me a week and I'll be adjusted but I was sweating just doing my stretches. After the squat fail I joked I just needed to go home. Then I accidentally loaded 55 lbs on the bar for the press and did a few reps before realizing it was the wrong weight (though now I know I should have just stuck it out since I managed 3 reps...next week!) and said I needed to go home again. Then I did my first warm-up lift at 115 on the deadlift and felt it strongly in my lower back. Seriously, just throw in the towel and go home.

My other excuse was it was the first time with the new set-up on the squat racks. We have fancy new wooden platforms to do our lifts on so there were a few more people making the most of it than usual. I enjoy my secluded Monday night lifting, but I think those days are over. I'll adapt and am happy to have the new equipment!

Today is another day. I'm going into the gym expecting the heat, expecting it to be a bit more crowded because of all the new equipment and expecting to leave satisfied knowing I pushed myself as much as I can, even if that means not doing what was on my 'schedule.'
