Feeling Crushed | Bulking Season: Day 25-27

8/10/26 - 8/12/26 "Willpower is a rechargeable battery." - Gary Keller, The ONE Thing This split was a tough one. Between low energy and mental burnout, I hit a wall during Days 25–27. In this video, I air my thoughts on the cause of this rut. Was it stress from work or the lack of sleep? Or could it be the skipped rest day that wasn't even mentioned? By tracking my schedule and productivity, I can analyze what went well, what went wrong, and the results. Thus in theory, I can optimize the maximum work I can handle while functioning at my peak. In times like this when my body sends me warning signs, it's important to catch the slide before it spirals out of control. To my younger self - Don't blame yourself for missing the mark. Optimize your systems to not miss again. 00:00 - Day 25: Morning Routine & Updates 01:00 - Overhead Press 02:12 - Preacher Curls 03:17 - Machine Lateral Raises 04:38 - Cable Tricep Extensions 05:25 - Reverse Curls 05:58 - Tricep Pushdowns 06:37 - Day 25 Physique Check 06:47 - Day 26: Sleep Tracking, Burnout & Leg Day Prep 09:53 - Single-Leg Press 11:09 - Single-Leg Extensions 12:02 - Seated Calf Raises 12:42 - Parallel Bar Leg Raises & Day 26 Physique Check 13:18 - Day 27: Morning Check-In & Push/Pull Goals 14:01 - Neutral-Grip Lat Pulldowns 14:26 - Incline Dumbbell Bench Press 14:57 - Reverse Pec Deck (Rear Delts) 15:23 - Pec Deck Flys 15:58 - Day 27 Physique Check & Wrap-Up
