Monday 3/8 was the last day that I did an Easy Muscle session in the evening. After that, my work scheduled changed to allow me to exercise in the morning once again. My performance in the clean+press dropped after the switch to morning training. The worst performance was on 3/12 when the prescribed number of reps per set was 4. I could not do 4 reps, so I did 3 reps per set instead. I don't know if I have always been weaker in the mornings compared to the afternoon or evening, and just didn't notice because I'd been exercising in the morning for years, and have seen measurable progress - as measured, of course, in the morning. I can only hope this was the only reason, and not because of a disease I don't know that I have yet. On the bright side, 3/12 was the last day this program will ask me to do 4-rep sets of C+P. Next week will be the last week of this Easy Muscle Schedule B training block.

Another positive outcome this week is being able to do sets of 10 Side Plank Hip Dips without a problem.
