Was supposed to do a bunch of other stuff....but was really tired.

Had incredible sex with wife this afternoon. I think it really drained my energy before this workout.
Not physically, but mentally ..... there was a lot of build up and like an adrenaline surge ...and then the "let-down" afterwards.
I just wanted to sleep afterwards, but back to work I went; Gym session was 4 hours later.

I keep gaining weight. I'm getting stronger, but not THAT strong. But I don't see I'm getting much fatter either. Tape measure (waist & hips). I can barely see the faint outline of a six pack...barely (but best its been in a while). All clothes fit ok, loose around waist, etc.
Upper body might be getting bigger moreso .... press metrics are at an all time high, without trying too much and no bench press or incline pressing, and no direct "arm work". Wife says my shoulders are definitely bigger. There's a few shirts I won't wear in public cuz I look like a meat head (way too tight/small in the shoulders; not that I'm hyoooge ....something a 20-something would wear to show off)
I think I might ditch all upper body hypertrophy work completely. I did this before ('18 or '19) when I had a good run at my Olympic phase, when I hit PRs/etc. I was lighter then. My technique sucked then (compared to now). Maybe I can shed 5-8 lbs of body weight.
I wanted to do clean and strict press for 205x5, pretty sure I could do it now, or in a week or two .... but I don't care anymore. I'm just too heavy.
Upper body days will consist of stupid oly stuff, instead of anything traditional strength work (presses, rows, flys, etc)...
... 2 or 3 of these:
- LIGHT POWER SNATCHES (fr. floor or fr. high hang)
- SN PULL-UNDERS
- SNG BTN PUSH PRESS
- PWR CLN + PUSH PRESS
- POWER JERK
- JERK FROM RACK
- LIGHT/SPEED SN HIGH PULL (fr. floor or fr. high hang)
- OHS?
....the idea is to make the leg component to these^ lifts very negligible, and kind make a light-technique day out of it.
None of that stuff is like hypertrophy work (considerable tension while muscle shortening; no eccentric component under load; etc)
Maybe I'll have to energy to do more core/ab/calf stuff on those days also (if I'm not pressing, rowing, dipping, flying, etc).
