Had my last nightshift, didn't want to skip leg day today but it would have been smarter to just go tomorrow and change my PPL routine this week to ULPPL.
I halfassed every exercise and did nothing on my plan. Started with RDLs, didn't feel anything (bad form), went to do Bulgarian Splitsquats but couldn't even hold proper form, did only 2 Sets instead of planned 4. Went over to the seated leg curl and just did 2 Sets to failure with medium 60% of my normal weight. The only good thing were the calf raises on the smithmachine, but even they sucked cause a friend of mine told me to change angle of legs. Sure he might be right, but I didn't do my planned 5x8 Sets on the Calf Raises either cause I changed angle and adjusted weight and somehow ended up with 2 Sets of 8 (how I wanted) and the other 2 with this weird messed up "trying around" Calf Raises cause my friend was watching at 25 Reps without feeling anything.
Honestly I should lay down and go back to the gym later and start from scratch. That was just a waste of time lol.
I like when my friend is in the gym but he always comes up to me explaining what he would do and blablabla and that takes the flow out of my workout.
Yeah my workout isn't perfect, I am new (since 5 months) but still I just want to do my exercises and not play around with stuff I don't know.
Just let me do the stuff I know with proper form (Latpulldown, Seated or T Bar Rows, Biceps EZ Bar Curls, Cable Hammer Curls etc..) and don't come up trying to teach me how to do a standing bent over barbell row. Like I am wasting energy on trying that. I will do it in a year or two but not now.
I halfassed every exercise and did nothing on my plan.
That's actually fine. Most fitness goals require steady, long term progress, and the nature of a plan with 100+ workouts is that you can afford to have a suboptimal workout, to shift things by a day or two, without setting yourself back on that medium or long term journey.
Terry Crews has talked about how he sometimes has days where he just goes to the sauna, or sits on a bench, and does nothing other than getting his gym clothes on. And it counts. Because on many days where he just intends to go to the locker room, he figures "well I'm here" and does a few exercises. And doing a few exercises is better than no exercise.
