Training when the kids have been up all night

With two kids under six, some weeks I get maybe five hours a night. If I only trained when I felt fresh I would train twice a year.

The rule

I go anyway. I do the main lift at around 80 percent of what I planned. I skip everything else. I am out in 45 minutes.

It keeps the habit going, and the habit matters more than any one session. The next good day, I am right back where I left off.
