Allright, onto my 4th nightshift, overslept today as well, but fortunately it’s my last nightshift before a weekend off.
Only made 2 excercises today as well before having to run to work. The plan now is to catch up on the missed excercises from Today and yesterday and add in cardio tomorrow. Then do day 3 & 4 saturday and sunday with cardio, and thus I’ll complete week 7 of the template.

Felt stressed and a little frustrated today. The psychology of overshooting: I think I frontload myself with too high expectations; that I would like to continue progressing fast, then get in my feelings when the weights feels no lighter than the previous couple of weeks, then I am too hesitant to accept that and lowering the weights enough - I don’t really feel that I’m close to failure on what had to be rpe 8, so rpe 9 to 9,5 or 10 comes after. I’m not good at gauging rpe 7.
Meanwhile, looking at the control of my reps, and pausing - I think the progress is there. And the fatigue must be taken into account, I lie higher in volume at these loads each week now than ever before.
