I'm not going to lie, I felt a little run down today but half way through "hell" week that's how I'm supposed to be feeling right? It might have been because of the weather too, I find whenever it is rainy, cloudy and just generally humid that I often feel lethargic. Hopefully tomorrow will be a nice sunny day.
I did my entire workout in the Dalplex today and by the time I started weights I was already feeling my blood sugar drop a bit--not significantly like I get on occasion but just enough to make me regret not bringing some Gatorade or something for some quick energy mid-workout. I usually try to avoid sugary drinks like that as much as possible but when the workout takes 3+hours it's hard to keep energy levels high for that long. Even though a lot of the work is stop and go just being on your feet for that long without eating drains you.
I didn't feel like I had much while squatting. When I'm fresh I feel like I get a nice solid "push" through the whole movement, utilizing the glutes but today I felt like I was just moving the bar. The bar still gets from point A to point B but I felt like it was taking an indirect path to get there. I'm looking forward to testing my squat next week to see where I'm at.
