February 15, 2024 precycle log:
Yesterday was a bit of a write off, lack of sleep, Valentine’s Day, etc. Cannot wait until I am living by myself again.
On another note, I decided to go back to my old gym today, ya it takes a bit more gas to get there, but oh boy, it feels like home. Comfort level through the roof. Will continue going there as that’s where I made the most progress.
Question for you bros.. I have always struggled with my chest presses, do you guys have any suggestions on how to progress properly? I seem to stick around 135-145 tops and can only do low rep sets, am unmotivated to go higher as I struggle.
