Had A fantastic Leg session on saturday. Probably a top 3 session on prep hands down, and yesterdays session was fantastic too, beating numbers i did 2+ months ago.
We may potentially be so back.
Did my driving lesson just there and meal one. Have lower B and FINGERS CROSSED this goes well. Look forward to push.

We are up to 2 check in days now. Tue and Friday.
Fasted 4k steps, done cardio after my session instead today and it was noticably easier to get it done hahaha. Ill still prefer fasted though, sets my productivity better and easier reason to get up early in the morning.
Which will work in my favours as now i am up to cardio 7x a week now hahahaha ffs. Food is still the same so that is all well for me. Had a good pull day, no drop offs in strength this time. Great rounds of posing post workout too.
Lightwork.

79.6kg
Fasted 30′ incline walk + 3k steps.
leg day B today, went quite well today but lower back still abit fragile so couldnt push too insane on leg press. Prob last of the ‘light’ sessions for myself , and really kick back onto things.
Guess this was the first actual hurdle on prep. Which is fine, learnt quite abit from it. Hunger still low enough and feel switched on. Had morning PT and a few check ins.
YT video recording today and which i forgot to even mention, i started doccumenting prep and routine on YouTube. On my 8th one so far. Done at least once a week so thats another promise i made to follow while on prep.
I expect a drop of weight soon..

79.7kg.
Fasted 30min cardio and additional 3k steps.
Had a quite good pull and push session yestaerday too. Still leaving out the 50/50 reps out and its deffo making me adjust almost back to nornality. I think legs tmr will be my last no 50/50 reps session. In more better spirits this week too. Its acc crazy how much outside stressors affects your training quality and overall routine and wellbeing.
Trained after one meal today, just finished my 2nd meal having some basa instead of mince. Man is quite cooked with the prices of lean mince rn haha,
Have some evening consults todat and finishing up an online client start up

rest day.
Fasted 45 Min Good pace walk around the lake. 2 Rnds of vacuums.
Thought id get a bigger spike in weight but nah not too bad.
Leg session actually went really good, took 1 rir to each movement, not risking pushing too hard just yet after the extra days rest. Ive a rest day td so i should? be back in full action on Monday for the Upper Session.
Feel better again today, body doesnt feel tired after long walks and less sleepy and No cns build up from the leg session so things are moving forward.

sheeeit, 70s will be here soon. In fairness , i did not expect to hold the 80s by week 10 of prep/ mid May so ill take that.
Additional Rest day today, body still fucked and having a pretty annoying cold which explains why cns was shot when training yesterday and days before.
Ill rest today and see how i am tmr, i just want to train man hahaha but if you need rest you need rest!
Did a fasted 1hr walk around the lake for sunrise which was beautiful. Just gonna try scrape 10l steps and not go too overboard (i usually do 13-14k)

Training will be adjusted for next 2-3 sessions , going 1-2 reps off failure and really giving in biofeedback to coacg this week.

80.5kg Prep low.
fasted 30mins cardio + 3.5k additional fasted steps.
legs today and awwwww man what a terrible session. RDL 10kg lighter and only got like 5-6 reps and leg press 20kg lighter and head was just not right and got low reps. The rdl and hip thrust both was awful and body just gave out saying no.
My mind im ready, zoned in , ready to attack but body just gives way and in that ‘muscular failure’ way. Ive had awful sleep last 2 nights and the stress as previously said.
Its just fustrating, im too inclined of that shut up fuck off and just train its just prep fatigue. Gave my feedback to the coach and see what he has to say,
I hope things get better, win some and lose some.
