I actually like the 5am workout more than late night ones

Was rushed for time... cuz I overslept! That 5am is rough!!! So I had to somewhat rush through the workout. Didn't get to finish out the Bi's... but oh well. Proud of the fact that though I'm cutting and losing strength, my pull-ups are relatively still there! Always struggled with those, so I'm glad. First time in forever I've done T-Bar rows. Felt decent.
Overall, decent back day.

Thoughts:
Today was a tough workout. Very fast pace and lots of reps, intense, interval-like training. I loved it! I actually had 1 scoop of Gluta in the middle of the workout because it was definitely needed!
Weighed in this morning at 218! Lowest I've been since right before my wedding in 2008. Getting it slowly, and maintaining as much muscle/strength as possible. Feeling lighter and lighter on my feet/knees which was the whole purpose of the heavy winter cut! Loving it.... Got a little longer to go, and then I'll focus more on a maintenance body recomp....

Thoughts:
Good workout this morning. I really hate not having a spotter on bench... I want to push out a few more reps but I know I will probably need a spot. Kinda sucks, but oh well. Feeling my strength declining now... figured the cutting has a lot to do with that. But still ok with it (other than ego!!!) because I've been dropping in weight and my knees feel pretty good. Light shoulder work to round it out...
Gonna try to get in another cardio session this evening with some core work. Gonna try to double up the next few days before Thanksgiving!"For bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things..."

You are better than me right now! My training has been all over the place. My 6 month old is not a good sleeper and wakes up 4-5 times a night. I try to push myself to go most nights but that thoughts of sleep void that. I hope it gets better soon, I am starting to lose it on not having great sleep.

Well I went to a different/new gym this morning... I had somebody I never knew spot me before and they almost killed me!!! After that experience, I just said I won't ask strangers to spot me, haha. I probably could've asked, but just don't like it when I don't know how you spot. OCD I guess...

I feel ya brother. I have to watch the people workout to see if I want them to try and spot me, don't want someone inexperienced spotting me lol.
Nice work even with the injury. May be the extra strain on the bicep when you turn the DB or do a curl where your palms remain flat during the lift? Just take it easy on those till it recovers.[][][]ProMera Sports Rep[][][]

I do not ask for spots. Lucky for me I am weak right now so I do not lift that heavy! I had the same thing a while ago when it came to pressing anything over head. I am pretty sure it was bicep tendonitis. Took a few weeks to feel better after some rehab and extra work with my chiropractor.

Sucks...
Been sick since Monday night. Hit the whole family. Wife and girls had it first... then I got it... Really wanted to keep working out this week of Thanksgiving but I've been coughing my lungs out. I guess it's forcing myself to take a week is a good thing... but so annoyed when I get sick. I'm really hoping I'm be back good to go by Monday. I've been really out of it the last few days."For bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things..."
