Barely overhead pressed 200 on Saturday, but I got it. Did dips for assistance work. Felt pressure in my sternum so didn't go over 50 lbs. Went to a work party that night and had lots of Korean food.

Sunday was just a rest day after all the drinking. When I drink it's usually organic juice I supply from Trader Joe's and vodka, which leaves me feeling 100% the next day and able to train at full capacity. This time all I had access to was beer and soju, which left me with a very rare hangover. Stayed in bed and played Zelda on Switch for a lot of it.

Monday I did a deload squat workout of up to 300x5.

Came home from work and did some yoga in the afternoon.

Got paired with a tall guy at Muay Thai. He asked if my name was Persian and said he was Turkish. Nice guy but a little annoying to work with. Kept peppering me with corrections on how he likes the pads to be held that I haven't heard from anyone else ever before. Also kept gassing and telling me to switch sides even though he fell well short of the 25 kicks on each side. Work through it! Come my turn he held the pads high. I actually SHOULD be able to comfortably kick at the height he held at, but my hips just felt tight. Might be losing flexibility from squats and neglecting stretches. Misfired and jammed my toes. Felt like amateur hour, ugh.

Ended by throwing light combos ending with a leg kick, rotating between various partners. Kept everything extremely light, which miraculously everyone abided by. Was able to focus on technique. I hope for more drills like this.
