"I did 8 last week, let's go for 10" the second rep: 🥴 fuming 😠 about to lose my sh!t *goes to take off weight* *considers not being a lil btch* *but dont want to hurt myself* *reconsiders* *but remembers lack of sleep, Luteal phase and busy week* taking the L on weight to hit some solid reps progress isn't always linear unfortunately we can't be better every single workout (and that's ok!)
