Bad Day at Gym

School got the best of me today. I meant to wake up early and row 2K, but instead I slept until 6:30 and didn't do anything. Then I sat in a windowless room until 4:30p, came home, ate a lot of snacks, and went to the gym feeling terrible. I've got a lot of negative thoughts in my head, and I've been disappointed with my last couple of workouts.

I deadlifted. Usually this makes me feel great, today it was just disappointing. First my knee locked up while I was warming up on the rower, maybe because I was so cold. Then I was going to do the 10-10-5-5-3-3-1-1 rep scheme of deadlifts that CF Gotham did this morning, but I think I started too ambitious and ended up failing all over the place:

Deads
185# x 10
225# x 10 (first five unbroken, adjusted hands twice for next 5)
255# x 5 (adjusted hands after 3)
255# x 3 (failed on 4)
255# x 3
275# x 1 (failed on 2)
295#F
and I didn't even attempt another single. I just felt terrible, really not able to get over bad thoughts, doubts, my knee hurting a bit. I have felt sluggish lately, partially because of all the sitting I've been doing but mostly just because my head is not in the right place. I need to fix this, soon, but tomorrow is an off day because I've got class 7-10a and then clinical at the hospital until 10p.
