> So when you're having a day like the one I describe above, it's the equivalent of showing up at the gym one day and finding you can suddenly bench press 50 pounds more than yesterday.
So it's not so far out of the ordinary to be unexpected?
In my experience, those sorts of variances are pretty common with lifting and endurance running. Especially for non-professional level athletes.
I haven't lifted weights in probably 15 years, so you'll need to modify that number to something that makes sense.
In Climbing, I know that when I'm on form I can generally get a route graded 7b+ after a couple hours of working it and a few redpoint attempts. The few 7c routes I've done each took about a dozen days of work spread out over the course of a month.
The route I did on one of my pre-cold days was rated 8a+ (though it was likely a bit overgraded), and I got it second go. Like I said, I came back a week later, and I couldn't even do the single hardest move in isolation.

So, that far out of the ordinary.
