My anxiety is quite high right now. I didnt drink much last night, but i woke up wayyy too early. Ugh, why does that happen? And, cmon now, didnt drink much but i did, didnt i?
I just cant get better at my workouts when i am feeling like this. Also hardly had any calories yesterday, but the bulk of them came from fried foods at night, the last meal that powered todays workout.
Still...i survived.

[AKIRA]

2 plates for 4x6 (45 sec; strapped on last 2 sets)

Shit load of curls
Flexbar

LISS for 30 min

Dead hangs


Worked out due to boredom and, can we talk about something for a moment? Ive not drank in 2.5 days (Thursday I did drink, but it was nothing) and 300lbs was hard. I wanted to do more sets, but I was already arching my back on set 2! Cmon....I should be stronger than this when I have nothing holding me back.
That said, my left elbow has been hurting me during kettlebells and its pain site is around where the tennis elbow injury would be, so thats why I did some curls, the flexbar, and skipped kettlebells. Yesterday, which i didnt log, was all kettlebells. Thats why there was only 1 pull.

A fucking hard HIIT

Sauna 12 min


So weird to struggle when I have not drank, had good calories, and decent sleep. Lowered the volume and intensity today to give my elbow a break, but I also wanted to be 'fresher' for some KBs. That was a pipedream. Shit, by the time I got to the presses, I had to take more seconds to rest during the warm ups. Still, I powered through the HIIT and am thankful for it.

I was nervous from last night until today because I had an appointment speaking about my jaw surgery. Nothing to be afraid of, but I was drained, regardless.
That said, I did ok today, even increasing the BBs 20lbs. Went up on the DBs too and no problems. Silver lining.

Went to the stadium and it was closed!!!!


ZERO pussy in the gym and though I felt 'off,' I kinda felt good. Lots of volume and I am happy that I was able to deadlift the DBs onto the bench. Been scared to do that, hence the previous Floor Press replacements.

Ugh. Sunny day and the motherfucking stadium...

No sense in ever typing out what I did with the kettlebells, but I had to baby my arm. I did focus on hip dominant shit to supplement the posterior chain. 245lbs felt easy but...it always did.

Last night was the worst panic attack i have had....at least in years. I was playing a game called FTL, which is a relaxing game. And bam! Indigestion, sweats, fear, what else???? I immediately took xanax and some unisom for sleep. I had planned on going to bed early due to being hung all day. This was....just before 9pm and i was still feeling a headache. I was drinking water all day, taking apsirins, 2 showers, slept late, wasnt much else to do. I did, however, say fuck it and made a strong drink some time around 6 and had planned to go watch some footballs. The drink, at the time, helped, but as i got dressed, i realized my headache was still present and going out to spend money, drinking more poison just wasnt in the cards. Got undressed and 3 hours later the attack happened.

This fucker fought the xanax. I had to take another one! I went in my bedroom, folded laundry, and put on stranger things. Some times i had to turn it off cuz i couldnt pay attention. I spoke to myself and thought, shit, am i nauseous? I had some frozen pizza which didnt sit right, but despite it being shit food, its not gonna make me sick. I kept sweating and couldnt sit still, even though the xanax was making me dizzy.

I got done with laundry, put the show back on, and did some fucking stretches on my bed. I started to relax and turned off the tv, but when i took the moment to fall asleep, it came back. Put the show back on and this cycle repeated 2x. Eventually i did go to sleep and had dreams within dreams. I was talking to my sister in my dream about the xanax and how much i had to fight.

So...i got up after 1pm and here i am. No anxiety now, but fatigue from the benzos. Never had anxiety that resisted the xanax, of which i hardly take.

[AKIRA]

Flat DB Press
95lb DBs for 4x8 (1 min; failed at the same shit..last rep)

Flex bar
10 stadium sprints
Flex bar


I dont think Ive ever done 4x6 of 275. Ive done 5x5 and its hard, and wow. I truly had immense strength on set 1. Set 2, I felt way too pumped. I lost steam and felt that lack when I went to the DP presses.
Sprints, however, were 10 min. Thats 10 sprints to the usual 9 and I did it in 10.

[AKIRA]

Yikes! Stretching in the sauna made things much more intense. 150 bpm!
Anyway, the sumos made me nervous but after set 3, i opted to do 2 more. Glad i did.

[AKIRA]

Stretched


My back was really shaky during those lunges, but thats after another caloric deficit weekend, replaced with alcohol. Ugh. Still....4 pounds up from last time I did lunges. Worked so well, my quads burned during the leg press. Cant remember the last time that occurred.
The tabata....christ.
Ok, I did

20 sec 20kg KB Swings

Then I did it again, starting with the swings that time, but still made sure to end doing sprints. Sprints, hah, yeah right. I looked awful. The only sprint was the very first one. This was crazy hard.
