With your past three days being back, leg and chest then maybe your ready for a days rest.

How were you pre workout carbs, did you get enough?

This makes a big difference for me.

everyone has those days where nothing can go right bro. its probably the most frustrating thing in weight lifting. are you getting all your rest and food you need to recover? you da man though youll work through it.

[mitchcumstein]

Yep, i think i should still be taking a day off in between workouts. Im still trying to fine tune this routine. And no, i forgot to eat a pre workout meal so i mightve been a little low on carbs even though i slammed a Monster when i got to the gym. Oh well, gonna take the rest of the week off and start fresh monday.

It was just one of those days bud. I have them too, well do.
Try going to sleep earlier and get a little more rest and definitely make sure to get that pre-workout meal in.

But a week off will do good too, you'll come back fresh and ready to go

Good luck bro

Keep it tight Mitch, and it is a good idea to take a a day off in between workouts. You will go past this sticking point.

[mitchcumstein]

I will. im just pissed its happening a week before the end of my cycle. I really wanted to get to 300x5 before the end cause i know itll drop a little when i come off.

You're a beast Mitch! Nice numbers on the DL's and curls. Those weights make me hurt just thinking about them.

[mitchcumstein]

Thanks fellas. My wife was laughing her ass off watching me do those curls. Apparently she thought the 45lb plates on the ez curl bar look a little over the top. Lol.
