More things to try, maybe

Yesterday I tried upping the weight on my deadlifts and maxed out at 135# for two reps. I tried for a single at 140# but I couldn't even get it off the ground. It was a weak day overall, though. I had troubles finishing the cleans-to-thrusters, too. The last two sets I had to do two, then take a rest before finishing the third rep of the set. And then I was muscularly fatigued all day (legs to tired to make it up a flight of stairs, generally achy, etc.). Went to bed early, slept about twenty minutes later than usual, and am still tired today. *sigh*

I'm considering trying a heart rate variability product. Between buying the HRV package and a heart rate monitor, though, that's Mega Big Bucks. Also, my body doesn't transmit well to heart rate monitors, and I'm a bit concerned about sinking the money into something that wouldn't even work for me on a basic level (regardless of if it actually helped).

Sunday I start the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet). This is not going to be easy or fun. It's the most restrictive eating experiment I've tried so far. At least I won't have to think much about food prep while mckitterick is busy with the summer CSSF activities.
