So I just had a horrible workout ...

[sk*]

For the last week or so I cut calories drastically and lost a good amount of water. Along with this I was taking about a week off from the gym since I was to start WSB on monday.

Monday's workout went allright, but today I was doing chest and it went horrible. Nothing was going up, my strength suffered greatly.

I had lost about 10lbs of water, but today I am gonna eat till I regain those 10lbs and another extra 5 then hit the gym again around 9pm. I am gonna set a PR on bench.

I had the same thing happen. Monday was back... I could barely get my warm up weights up.

Fortunately, Tuesday was legs... and I was able to hit it full throtal.

You were doing WSB and doing "chest?"

Well, bench ...

I just call it chest, just a habit. I tried doing board presses, but nothing seemed right and the bar seemed way too heavy.

Yeah, I can understand that. You have to have fuel for this. I think a nice big bowl of oatmeal will get you the numbers you want. Hehehe...works for me.

I look forward to giving you PR KARMA later, dammit!

I'm just gonna load up on complex carbs and protein shakes, and i'll take your advice of the oatmeal and maybe some steak around 8pm. Then around 9, i'll drink a lot of simple carbs and hopefully i'll be bloated enough so I don't have to move the bar more than 2inches.

Spoken like a true powerlifter.

Don't worry, happens to the best of us. As Spatts put, oatmeal always helps. I also find eating potatoes and eggs (about 3 potatoes, and 6 eggs all cooked together until soft) does wonders for me. Hhmmm, I think I'll go have some now!

Tonight is legs for me. Squat night, I think I'll have 4 potatoes!

That was pure poetry, man.

lol

and yeah..i was going to mention the chest thing. BE SURE you don't flare your elbows on bench. it's bound to cause an injury, especially with the max partials and balistic benching in westside training

I mix two packets of oatmeal with milk and put a lot of honey in it before I eat it...

Keep working, get hydrated...you will be back.

I always bloat myself up on carbs and as much water I can force into me, before a workout. It does the job

Carbs are my friends, and I feel like a scrawny bag of doodoo when I'm seperated from them.

Okay, so I was determined to set a 20lbs PR on low pin press. I had ate over 6000calories between the start of this post and before I went to lift again.

Sadly, the weight seemed heavy again but I was able to do 2reps what I had originally done once. I then proceeded to do 8X8 on JM Press, oh yea that was fun on the triceps.

I really couldn't concentrate on anything though. I wasn't able to get in contact with my gf for a few hours and thought something might be wrong, so my mind just wasn't there.

Next week i'll set a better PR ...

Well, if your mind wasn't there, well you get it....

Next week it will be a different story.
