Really short WO today, as I cut things really short.
Another time when I felt nauseous in the gym. I really should have known by now that playing with caffein can be dangerous. 1 tab of 200mg on an empty stomach (in the afternoon) is too much, esp when combining it with a mug of coffee! 1/2 a tab is plenty!
That and the surplus of carbs I had in the morning from eating leftovers from dinner (ran out of some groceries for breakfast) , as well as today being day 1 of TOM, meant that I felt weak as a kitten...
So called it quits after just a couple of squats:
WU
30x5
35x5
40x5
First wave
45x7
47,5x6
50x5
And then I was supposed to do the 2nd wave of 47,5-50-52,5 but felt too wobbly to dare. Contemplated doing a bit of cardio, but decided against it after a couple of weak chins (2 reps).
After all, this week is supposedly a complete rest week between Fat Loss 2 & the ominous Fat Loss 3 that's coming up next week.
I'd just wanted to do a bit of practicing on the front squats as I really hated how I hadn't managed to do 8 reps for 50kg. But boy, was I ever so weak! Last week it was the wrist that prevented me from getting to 8 reps, but today there was no way I could have done 8 reps.
I almost long back to my FemFit routine because it's really nice to train with your cycle and know exactly when you're gonna be weak and when you'll be strong. That is .. about when I habitually tend to overeat around day 20 of the cycle.
Oh well.. I'll come back on Thursday and see whether I can get to do another round of front squats and perhaps even try out hang cleans? Or is that pushing my luck re on what my wrists can handle. No, I'll just try to do some more weighted chins again, haven't done a proper chin workout in ages!!
