Super light headed at the gym today. Felt it during my deadlift warmups and full on noped my top set before it barely got off the ground. Not sure what's up. Not enough sleep? Diet finally affecting my energy levels? My blood pressure was low for me (good range for most people). Maybe that? No idea but a bit frustrated.

How powerlifting made me feel good at sport
As a child, Julie "wasn't one of the sporty kids". A safe gym environment and then a supportive powerlifting community helped her realise that wasn't actually true.
#weightlifting and #powerlifting are both great ways to stay healthy
Week 1 of being back at the gym: +1,2kg of bodyweight, of which 500g is muscle mass, according to my scale.
3 workouts, on Madcow 5x5, and a deliberate excess of calories. A new mass gainer (~1300 calories/serving), instead of the usual protein shake, definitely helped. Weakness is most noticeable on squats, but I believe that I've also been overtraining them on 531 during the 6 months I did that program.

Gym stuff, I've been looking at trying out a new lifting program for the new year. I'm basically sold on this Burrito But Big meta-program since I've had success with 531 style stuff in the past. It will be closer to hypertrophy work than I usually do which will be a nice change of pace.
