I think I've developed a few bad habits, lazy on eating, not seeing gainz, not staying motivated, no weighing myself to stay on top of stuff.... pretty much just hit a small depression and low motivation. Thought about this today and realized I need to get back on track, No excuses. Went out n got some better groceries, made a meal plan so I don't end up eating barely anything at work, then cereal before bed like a child would.... I need to grow, I need to eat well to stay happy, strong and motivated... /of gay updates. Tomorrow deads, so today I just wanna impulse lift to get on track.

Week 8 is supposed to be a rest week... that didn't work out last time, so gonna do week 9 instead... same weights as week 7 anyways.
really long pauses on close grip... weight is really light, but last few reps are hard this way.
last set of deads was probably harder than the 530x2.
got it done, did some victory curls after

uggh... legs feel cold... joints are poppy... gonna skip heavies maybe.... uggh... or... i dunno.... fuk.

my brain is stupid... was totally gonna skip 415, ended up doing an easy 4... wtf ? motivation n mental is like at least 7000% of lifting... actualy being strong means nothing.
happy with bummer day 415x4.... so i let myself off easy with 1 set of 225xreps

Update

Well unfortunately for Wick, i'm not dead.... so he will continue to forever be weaker than me.
I have been slacking hard since its summer / bike season. been about a month now barely lifting and unstructured, so I decided imma go back to a classic and do Madcow's over the summer just to keep as much strength as I can with minimum efforts.
