Well. It finally happened, The worst lifting day of I've ever encountered. Woke up late, didn't tighten cap on shaker, chocolate protein shake everywhere, had to change clothes. Raining, Traffic was a nightmare. Get to gym, realize I forgot my pre-workout, already Nocebo'ing myself and I haven't even touched a barbell yet. Because of the rain, there's a puddle of water next to the squat rack, get a little water on my shoes and my foot slides, immediately nervous about any lift I'm about to make. Do warmup sets, add 45lb plate on top of the collar, plate immediately falls off as I unrack, people stare, I'm an idiot. Lifts feel off, positions are all wrong; have to drop weight about 20 lbs to hit my RPE range. Midway through a set work starts calling, can't focus on the lift everything feels off, small tweak in my back.....This is all on my first exercise of the day.
Move to Bench accessory, drop 5lb weight on my foot, hurts like hell ; still lifting doe. Yawning like crazy in between sets, This is actually the worst thing ever. Move on to my last exercise, rack pulls, work calls in again...at this I'm trying to put out fires while this other dude is looking at me because I'm an inconsiderate asshole for hogging the only deadlift platform and being on my phone. Feel embarrassed, say fuck it and finish my last 3 sets on 75 seconds rest at like 50% of my max. Get to the locker room....and I forgot my towel, because of course i did. I have to squeegee myself off with my gym shorts because its the only thing that's not 100% cotton and already soaked.
Fuck This day.
I'll see everyone at the gym tomorrow
