So this week is de-load week for me. So humiliating!
In the grand scheme of things, I know it's good for me and prepares me for my next round of programmed lifts....but it really hurts your ego when you are using weights that are about 60%-70% less than what you normally do.
Had some new guys show up in the gym this morning while doing my bench de-load set. 155lbs of AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible).
I stopped at rep #28 just because I ran out of steam and was getting bored...right at the same time they came in the back room to see me finish maybe the last 6 reps at that weight and struggling a little.
Bet they were thinking...man that old man is weak!
