Pressing session at physique warehouse today.
Incline bench press 140x5x5
Seated DB Press 50x5x5
Pressdowns 30x5x5
DB Lateral Raises 3×20Good session with everything feeling easy. Strength is progressing where I expected it to be at this point. Headed home after this and walked a couple of miles with the dogs.
A lot of work lined up for tomorrow. Deadlifts in the morning then some graft over at the farm to be done in the afternoon.

Wednesday update…
For some reason my phone had no mobile data at the lake I was fishing last night so apologies for the delayed update.
Wednesday was a rest day for me, spent it next to the lake not catching anything but cooking and eating my meals fresh which was the highlight of the day haha.
Body is feeling ok, IT bands are feeling tight again which is not ideal but I’m hoping they settle fast.

Morning sandbag conditioning work again. Exactly the same session as Monday. Then I or the gym for squats in the afternoon.
Squat – 195x5x5
Atlas stone back ext – 75x3x6
Seated leg curl 124x5x5
BB Curl 60x5x5Added in a new movement that I’ve been wanting to introduce for a while. Old school back extension off a high bench in the rack with at atlas stone. Used a ratchet strap to secure my legs. Felt awesome and definitely a movement I’ll be keeping in moving forward as I can see the benefits for one motioning stones.
Finished the day with some sports massage and 30mins in the hot tub.

Spent todays rest day getting the container at the farm sorted in preparation for getting the stones back in there.
It’s a proper rust bucket so removed some of the steel work in there and scrubbed off the rust ready for me to get in there and paint it. Then I need to sort the floor, mat out and get the stone platforms in.
Couple more weeks before I start the stones again so I have some time.

Second rest day.
It’s my wife’s birthday today so we had a lovely Italian meal out tonight. Proper good food and some birthday cake to top it off.
Back in the gym tomorrow for a pressing session.

Rest day for me today.
Got my usual dog walk done in the morning before it pissed it down for the rest of the day.
Legs are a little domsy today but nothing major or unexpected.

Hi Gerry.
Personally I would heal up any injuries while eating at maintenance before commencing a cut.
Get the injuries back to full strength before training in a deficit IMO.

Solid squat session with the higher volume. Also added some banded hip thrusts to work on glute work capacity.
The squats are still super light but they are not stirring up my TFLs at the moment which is the reason for reducing the load and progressing slowly in the first place.
Squat 155x5x10
Seated leg curl 99x5x10
Banded Hip Thrust 3×12
BB Curl 50x5x10 -
Nipped off this morning to get my press session done then it was back to the lake to continue the father son fishing trip.
Considering I didn’t get much sleep last night (multiple fish in the night) I felt pretty good with everything still feeling straightforward.
Military Press 87.5x5x10
Incline DB Press 50x5x10
Dips 5×10Last night next to the lake before I head home in the morning and it’s squats in the afternoon.

No training today. Relaxed and watched some great games of rugby. France vs SA was awesome viewing.
In the gym tomorrow for some pressing.
