Dufisthenics

So once again today during my chest pushing session I felt weak with poor endurance.  I am still attributing it to my prednisone prescription which I thankfully should be done with by the end of the week.  It was prescribed to me as a possible aid in my right ear problem.  Although I haven’t noticed any significant improvement with the ear I have noticed that I have been sleeping like shit and my strength at the gym has tailed off significantly.

I struggled hard to get my 20 pull ups at the start of the workout and even harder pushing amounts of weight I have been able to coast with in the past.  I just worked until the edge of muscle failure, regardless of how much that edge has shifted downward.
