    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.

    Pulls today feeling decent. The high volume is very tough even with such a light weight!

    Stiff bar deadlifts 235x5x10
    CG Pulldowns 119x5x10
    High incline DB CSR 20x5x10
    Seated DB Curl 20x5x10

    Now to sit down and watch the boys compete at giants live Glasgow before switching over for England vs SA in the rugby.

    What a Saturday!

    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 5×10

    Last 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.

    Morning deadlift session for me. Pulls felt much more comfortable this week. All sets felt powerful.

    Deadlift (stiff bar) 277.5x5x5
    CG Pulldowns 133x5x5
    Seated DB Curl 25x5x5

    Off on an annual fishing trip with my old man today for the next couple of days. I head off to a local gym on Monday for my press session.

    Solid session today at Physique warehouse with everything feeling easy as it should.

    Incline bench press 130x5x5
    Seated DB Press 45x5x5
    Pressdowns 27x5x5

    It’s amazing what a short break from training can do for you. Body feels great and pain free which is strange after so many years of normalising a base level of pain in my life. Got to make sure I retain some of this when I ramp the weights up again.

    You need a referral letter from a doctor saying you have sleep apnea.

    Once you have that you can order one online.

    I’m sure there are ways round this but the company I got mine from required a doctors note.

    Which unit/mask did you go for?

    Is the difference profound?[/quote]
    I’m a mouth breather so had to have a full mask.

    My CPAP is from Sefam, think it’s called the cube.
