December Recap Part 2: Nearly Done With '21

I MISSED my last kabudo training session for 2021 as I was so exhausted. My sleep lately has been pretty bad. I might get four or five hours of restless sleep before my body wakes me up, usually around 6AM. As of Monday the 20th I am officially on leave, so I'll be trying to get on top of my exhaustion while also putting more time in the gym, now that I have the opportunity.

I've swapped standard bench press back into my Good mornings and accessories template since I'm pretty sure the chest press machine is exacerbating the bursitis in my left shoulder. I am hoping the low loading, high volume free weight presses will help to correct this.

The volume work is starting to pay dividends. I'm feeling stronger than I have in a year or more.
