Over-Depleted = Crappy Workout
What a crummy workout… I got through it all but every single exercise the weight was lowered. Weights I could do the last 2 weeks I couldn’t get full reps on. I hit failure at 7 of 10 reps on my third set of bench (redeemed only by knocking out 9 reps at more weight the next set after a longer rest and adrenaline kick). Just really frustrating. I know that strength goes down during depletion and cutting, but not this much! I don’t know how much of it is fatigue spilling over from yesterday’s cardio session as it was much more than I’ve done in one sitting for many years. Either way, it sucks.
I also went ahead and gave the SuperPump and SizeOn a try. Too early to make any conclusions on either. Come C3 though I know for sure that I will not be using the SuperPump, namely because of some ingredients that the Full Blown Xtreme has that the SuperPump lacks (NADH, Kre-Alkalyn, Evodiamine, and Vanadyl Sulfate specifically). I still wanted to try the SuperPump though for curiosity’s sake.
Anyhow… just a frustrating day. Last week’s workout was great, today’s not so much. *shrug* Hoping for better next time.

i hear you bro. Last week my back workout really ticked me off. I just could not lift the weight like before. Some of it is depletion, some is rest, some is your body’s immune system. good that you got your workout in. Go eat, rest, and try again!!

Hrm… well, I’m pretty sure this was the only ‘ho-hum’ workout I’ve read so far (though my memory isn’t always the best), so just consider it part of that miniscule 1% of bad workouts compared to your many awesome ones! Hope your next session goes better
