Congrats you figured out how stupid U/L is.
Now go do FB every other day and cut the useless fat from your fucking shit.

>you figured out how stupid U/L is
Can you explain how you arrived at that conclusion?
This is a shot in the dark but maybe you need to warm up on lower day before you hit the weights? Increases blood/oxygen flow to your entire body including the muscles you're about to challenge.
Exercise is the most effective way to heat deep muscle tissue. Warming muscle tissue can improve its strength (while it's warm). Increased blood & oxygen are going to help as well with your muscle's ability to generate energy (remember mitochondria?). Give it a shot and see what happens.

i always warm up before every exercise and do quite a few of warmup sets with shit weight just to get that sweat and warm feeling going.
i just find it weird that i struggle for one day and after shitty night and feeling like absolute shit in the morning i have no issues with workout and even set up new PRs.
i wonder if working out 6 days a week with alternating intensity/light days would give me better results
Caffeine is one hell of a drug.
But some days you're just in worse shape than others too, and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how well you slept or anything like that. Has happened to me many times that I've failed a weight one workout for it to feel like nothing the next
