I just supersetted all 4 assistance exercises in between my Trap Bar sets and finished what ever was left when I was done with Deadlifting. I think the addition of running has been part of y "fatigue", as well as bad sleep. It's not hard, but it's definitely more than I've been doing. But it's worth it. I can already tell a difference in my overall energy level. As I get better acclimated I'll be fine. This has been a good cycle so far. I've made sure to do a lot more hurdle-unders than usual. I do them before every lift, but I've been doing them in between sets throughout the whole lift. It has definitely helped keep my hips and back loose. I've also made a point to band stretch before and after each workout. The combination is helping. I really need to keep it up.
