Deload Can't Come Soon Enough

I'm trying to stick with my routine until the end of this month but it gets harder every day. I don't like the way I feel, and I'm really not happy with the way I look. Making strength PRs only goes so far. Today is Arm Day but when I think about it, it's a lot less than I use to do for Arms. After 20 minutes on the Precor (Steady State cardio), I get my high rep sets on the bench and then wrestle with the 45 lb plates and the Olympic bar by the mirrored wall for RG BB Rows. I notice how unevenly I row the bar, my right side pulling higher than my left. I pull one set at 185 lbs because I don't want to lose how it feels. I won't be pulling heavy in a few weeks.

The gym is crowded in odd areas. The DB area is completely filled with women draped all over every single bench. I grab the EZ bar and drop my towel on the back end of one of the BB Breaker Benches. At least I can put my feet up on the support bar for the breaker stay. Rip Crushers don't feel any easier. Then a few sets of BB Curls with the same bar. Except I up the weight after the first set. Finally, I knock out a few sets of Reverse Grip BB Curls just to work the forearms. A quick turn on the Torso Twist, 20 minutes on the Step Mill and an abbreviated Mat Stretch and I'm done. My right trap started to spasm while I was doing BB curls, limiting my neck motion. I made sure to be extra careful during the Mat Stretch.

The gym scale reads 112.8 lbs. I snap a few selfies in the mirror but everything looks distorted. I think it's me because I'm pretty sure the mirror's the same.
