Headed back home today so just the 45mins walk with the dogs to report.
Coming to the end of my weight loss period and I can’t wait to push back up to morbidly big again. Exciting times but I have at least one more week maybe two to hold off before that.
One more meal to go for this evening (8 fancy eggs) then off to bed.

On the road today to watch my training partner compete.
Travelled up today and watched the show.
Made sure I had all my meals with me.
Not much else to report really. I’ll head back home tomorrow and be back in the gym Tuesday

Really good pull session today. Training on my own so a lot of plates to take on and off but I managed to get some decent sets done. Had to literally dust off the 80kg dumbbells for rows today haha. Shows how long it’s been since I’ve used them.

Solid push session today. Tricep felt normal and I managed to progress all my lifts. Still a long way to go but I feel like I am progressing steadily now. A couple more weeks and I’ll be reintroducing the log press in the mix.

I tend to go with 40g of the EAAs for my intra. I do this in a single hit in 400ml water.
I’ll then mix 10g creatine in my sustain to drink throughout the session.
-
Rest for me today. No fishing either as I was on dog sitting duty.
Spent the day sorting the bbq area and cleaning the hot tub. Clearing a bit of space ready for a new cold tank – no more wheelie bin hopefully.
I had some new atlas stones delivered today so I’ll pop over to the farm tomorrow to check them out. Push session is on the cards for tomorrow.

Really good legs session at physique warehouse today. Weighed in at 141.7kg so I’m nearly ready to push back up and I’m pretty happy with the changes in body composition I’ve made in this short period.

Pop onto YouTube and search “Squat university ankle mobility”
There are a couple of good banded mobility drills there which should help

Very difficult to diagnose an injury via an internet description unfortunately – If it is impacting training then I would advise you see a physio to get a proper diagnosis. From there we can help with a course of action.
From your description I would guess it could be a TFL sprain or tear if the pain feels muscular BUT I am only guessing – this is one for an in person visit to a physiotherapist.
For now I would train around it avoiding any movements that cause pain.

Busy day with physio in the morning, training around lunch, massage in the afternoon and cardio in the evening.
Hamstrings were super tight today so we addressed that in both the physio and the massage sessions.
Happy with how my tricep is holding up especially as I move to pressing the heavier dumbbells.

Pretty tired today despite plenty of sleep, looks like my days labour in the garden rocked me a bit haha.
Things didn’t feel as light as they should today but I got it done. 3 sets of 20/20/25/27 over the raised barrier for bag throws then worked up to the full 500kg set up on the hummer tyre deadlift but this time from 15” Comp height is 13” so only need to add in one more mat to stand on before I’m at comp height.
All my meals are in so I’m going to get in the tub for 20mins then get my head down. Busy day tomorrow

No training today but I did do a shit ton of manual labour as I replaced our lawn for an artificial one.
Moving and compacting 800kg of sand got me big time!
Still got my walk in with the dogs in the evening and ended the day with 30mins in the hot tub to unwind.
Couple of events to do tomorrow.

Pull session today and my back was feeling good! Worked up to 300 on the SLDL and it moved very well. I’ve got 3 weeks till I start my peaking programme for the deadlift in September so I’m using the SLDL to bridge to suited pulls. I’ll take 310 next week then 320 the week after, deload then week 1 of the programme is 330×10 conventional.
