what do you think changed to make you unable to do the morning 495s? or if not unable, then at least made you think it's not wise to keep doing them?

i've been doing them (495x1 am/pm) for 100+ straight days already and know that if i keep the same routine at the same BW, then it can just go on indefinitely  until i get very old.

i deviated from my routine slowly by adding more intensity to the other exercises. my recovery redlined and now i'm toast. i'm going to give myself 1-2 easy weeks until i freshen up again and then repeat the same routine with better management of intensity on the other exercises.

on a good note, at least my core is not the weak point. i did not fatigue or strain my lowerback because i stayed away from heavy compound pulling (rows) and just kept it light on the pulls.

got it, makes sense.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

* work has been light since last week due to planned annual equipment maintenance shutdown. it's frustrating that i could have used this 3-4 week block to overshoot and take more fatigue because i will be able to recover better due to better sleep and less physical work. i'm still happy that i still get a routine afternoon 495. it's not getting any easier but i just have to weather this wave of burnout. im thankful that i have no tenderness or any early signs of injury.
