My schedule has been nutty this week. George had his car break down so he asked if I could drive him to a night class after work on Wednesday. When I got home an hour and a half later than normal due to traffic I scarfed down two Costco pizza slices and then hit the press workout 20 minutes later but felt like crap. Nausea came from the obvious source, but I also had a headache and felt sluggish and weak. Still, since my weight is on an upward trend I performed well with a top-set roughly equivalent to 165x7 last month but there was not enough time or gas for BBB, so I upped the weight to 145 and lowered the assistance press work to 3 sets.
Thursday was an errand evening with some time-sensitive things to take care of and I was all too happy to embrace an ABC workout with such limited time. Ever since I once heard Dan John describe ABCs on his podcast as being 2 squats I've been mixing up in my head what the original prescription was, so I did 2 squats up until rep 12 (which was the first rest-pause). Did a quick YouTube check at that point and reps 13-20 were 3 squats as intended. Usually, the press portion is not the tough part of ABCs but after boxing on Tuesday (mostly the heavy bag rounds after sparring) followed by a press workout on Wednesday, my shoulders felt more tired than usual and I actually had to grind out one rep with my left arm near the end.
Have also been bringing back rope-skipping in the morning before work, as it increases my appetite for my pre-work eggs. Did a 3 minute round yesterday and a 5 minute round this morning, with crunches following both.
Got a birthday dinner for Attossa 2 hours away in Berkeley to attend this evening after work. Saturday should be the start of a less hectic schedule.
