Well, I think that the birth control I'm on (the ring) is a contributor. instead of having regular periods like i do when I'm not on hormones, it actually makes me have NON-regular periods. I need to call my dr & get a prescription for something else, because I'm tired of my periods coming a week early & lasting twice as long as they should... and I suspect that my hormones are all messed up as a result.
However, I totally agree on the food part of it as well. Especially if I'm not eating enough. And stress... I started a new job and am still training so I'm not "I'm so busy!" stress, but it is "OMG I have to learn so much, how am I going to remember all of this" stress.
I relaxed and read last night, so I'm hoping that helps.

Hmm... well, that's not true with the rack grip. With the rack grip, the weight of the bar should be on your delts and your fingertips should be just steadying the bar into place. There should be nothing in your palms at all.
...aaaand that's what I have trouble with.
I can barely get the 45lb bar up with the rack grip so I'm just going to stick with a regular overhand grip (I think that's what it's called anyway). When we do these again in stage 5 (it is 5, right?), I'm going to do them with the rack grip.
