StrongLifts 5x5 (Part 2), Week 3, Day 2

Today was probably the worst day I've ever had in the gym and I don't say this lightly. It feels like everything was basically broken down and I was at my lowest ebb in strength in a long time.

I didn't manage to do the 75kg squats again, so I settled for 72.kg 5x5 and that's after a 40 and 60 kg warm up set and some stretching. I just don't know what it is, but I am doing something really, really wrong with my squat form. I need to keep working on it.

The overhead press is always a bitch, so I'm not surprised by that. I managed to only drop reps on set 4 and 5 and only the last 2, so not too bad. On any other day I probably would have been fine.

Which brings up my next point - my arms were freaking garbage today. I couldn't even do the curls that I wanted to do. Not only was my strength not up to it, but my back was bloody killing me. I know, maybe the squats and deadlift have a lot to do with that, but honestly I was feeling sore there all day and I know why - it's because I've pretty much just laid awake in bed without sleeping for the last 3 days.

Yeah, no wonder my body is giving out.

I've mentioned my sleeping issue before, but recently it's really started to get out of control. I don't know what to do about it, but it's bad.

The only bright spot today was the deadlift. I wouldn't say it was epic, but I had no real problem with it. I feel like that lift has improved since I de-loaded by quite a bit. Let's hope the other ones do as well.

I'm back at it on Friday and I'm going to try and get a good nights sleep tomorrow, so hopefully that will help.
