I had great intentions at the gym today. I was planning on trying out my new Asics shoes during my sumo deadlifts. I've been setting PR's every week with my sumo deadlifts, so I was excited to get to the gym and lift!
Well . . . things didn't start out great. My warm up with 135 felt a little heavier than usual. After that, each set just felt heavier and heavier. After pulling 245 for 3 reps last week, I knew 260 would come up easy. Well, it didn't even budge. It felt more like 360.
I couldn't just unload the bar and leave, so I modified the rest of my training session. I decreased the sets and weight and focused on my form.
This was a great learning experience. I'm going to adapt my workout next week so I can hopefully start setting PR's again.
Listen to your body, and make changes as necessary. Just because you have something planned doesn't mean it's going to happen.
Train smart.
