Notes:

* Didn’t experience the usual degree of ennui/lack of motivation this morning. I’m once again imagining this is the effect of the feast phase vs the famine phase. More food, and specifically more fats is giving me more energy and more drive to train. Still don’t care to get up at 0410 to train, but it wasn’t like before where I could pull it off my knowing it was “just” upper body day. Work has really been pretty crushing this month, and that’s been a driving factor for just “life fatigue”, but I’m pretty pleased to get these workouts knocked out.

* Saw progress everywhere. Really solid performance on the incline bench, trap bar and KBs saw some more weight, squeaked out a few more reps on those chins, and went with a legit 2 sets on the Viking rows with some progress. Also got in a full stretch for the DB stretch at the end.

* Really tried to focus on mind muscle with the rows. Too easy to turn sloppy. Experienced less shoulder clicking and popping on the trap bar press.

* Had enough time for some solid post training assistance work this morning. I like being able to hit those laterals on the day I train shoulders.

* Mrs and I squared off for the finals last night in our inner-Dojang sparring tournament. She beat me by points when time ran out. Always pleased to see her progress.

*  I weighed myself at 83.6 kg this morning, which bodes well, because I'm up from the last time I weighed in but look leaner.  Wanted to make sure I was moving the needle the right way.
