But then for leg day B of the week, it’s like my strength is gone. Tonight for example, I was aiming for a 5x5 scheme. I did jt on Friday. But today for the second set I could only get 3 reps and then my body gave up. Or my mind. Or both. And since it was only the 2nd set of 5 sets, I get into this mentality where I tell myself I’m weak and can’t get 5 reps on the next 3 sets.
I try telling myself “come on I can do this” and I try so hard to focus for those next sets but all I can think about is how I should’ve gotten 5 reps and I only got 3 for the previous set. And then I start questioning myself because I got 5x5 for the last lift, so why cant I do it this time?
