last night's lift session was pretty bad I could tell even in my warm up sets I wasn't going to perform well. by the time I hit my working weights on deadlift and squats eveything felt wrong and I called it quits. hopefully I can turn that back around today. 

I don't lift weights, but I know I have days when the walking or hiking or skiing feels like a trudge. So I think we all have those days when we're dragging. You've had an awful lot on you lately, so it wouldn't surprise me you're not at 100% all the time right now. Just hang in there 👍 

It was smart to call it quits. Days like that when it doesn’t feel right is when you are more prone to injure yourself. You will turn around fast. 

I agree— just days that even doing something you like to do just doesn’t come together as you would like. Happens to me with my swimming. Never happens with hiking. 

yep I was feeling the exercises far too much in my lower back and not enough in my legs. as much as we hope to perform our best every time there are so many outside factors that can prevent it. no point pushing and using improper form I would rather just call it quits and take that time off to recover better and come back stronger next session  

You are doing great. Listen to your body.  

You are making the correct decision. When it’s comes to growth you can’t be lifting just for the sake of saying you lifted. If you can’t give 110% that day, take an extra day to where to can. The point is to stimulate hard enough to signal growth 

Supergainz1 thanks I feel like that's one of those lessons it takes a bit to drill into your head especially as a beginner when your excitement makes you want to ignore it and just push through. I knew pretty quickly yesterday by my third rep of 330 on deadlifts on a set I should have hit 9 reps on I knew it was a no go so I gave up and moved to squats and the same thing happened there it only took 1 rep at 245 for me to be like nope I'm not nearly strong enough tonight to push for 10 or more reps so I Called off the whole workout. Tonight I'll do my upper body workout instead and tommorow will either be a rest day or I will re attempt my lower body day
