What healthy habits did you pick up, resume, or maintain this week?
I worked out daily, doing my squat and bench. Daily maxes were 195lb and one 200lb for squat, 135b-145lb for bench.
Overall, I felt a bit weak and inconsistent, which gave me an opportunity to think about form. I'll spare you the particular details, but I'm happily still learning a lot from failures about what contributes to a strong, confident lift. Tension is paramount, of course, but there are so many minor things, like width of foot placement, foot angle, width of hand placement, lat tightness, glute tightness, depth, etc., that it can take awhile to understand why you fail--miss reps--when you do.
Meals are remarkably unremarkable. Grilled fish and veggies, protein wafer and/or chocolate as a treat, nuts, soft-boiled eggs on brown rice cakes. I feel uninspired to cook at the moment but am quite comfortable in this routine. Oh, and sugarless baklava. IT EXISTS. It's made from maltitol (so not super diabetic friendly), but it isn't too sweet. More nutty. If they had used butter, it would've been even better.
