I cut the workout short this morning as I really lacked energy. It's the last day of the 3 week training cycle and after 8 sets of deadlifts yesterday, I suppose it's expected.

Plenty of food and rest and I'll start again on Sunday

Cardio

3.5k run - a quick run, nothing to strenuous

I weighed in at 194 lbs this morning. That's 0.6 lbs gain in 3 weeks. I need to eat more.

Also in the next three week training cycle I'm swapping DB bench for flat bench and cable rows for seal rows.

Ha, I'd like to be doing more sets if I could.

I did think about dropping the volume on the lat raises but it looks like it's working. My shoulders are looking decent with a pump and this is with a fair bit of winter insulation we'll see in Feb/March.
