You're right, Gq. I think part of my failure today was that I'm in such a bad mindset in general that after I missed that first lift I got psyched out.

As far as I can tell these were the factors:

1. My head was in the wrong place.
2. I did too much warmup: stretching, light extensions and 23 reps (as IK prescribes, but after reading that article... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] )
3. I'm fighting off the flu.
4. I haven't been getting quite the sleep I usually do.
5. My cals are down an average of 300 per day since the first day of school.

I'll think on these and go in next week better prepared. The gym has always been a stress relief for me, too. I don't want to let it become a let-down.
