Yet again another super busy day yesterday so a rest day on the books. Also somehow managed to squeeze in watching the new Spider-Man film in the cinema at a late showing. Early AM today was lower MRs which was a great session. Super busy day at work tomorrow planned so times well with a rest day as steps will be HIGH.

Super busy day yesterday with a late PM upper muscle rounds. Leading into today with an early start recovery wasn’t where I’d like it to be so it’s an early night for me. BW holding at 77.5kg throughout this week.
-
First day off in what feels like forever so had a very much needed lie in and cracked on with some household chores and a few bits on my car I’ve been meaning to do. Full rest day today with a walk around lunchtime. Busy week ahead so meals mainly all prepped tonight.
-
Lower muscle rounds ticked off early again this AM. ANOTHER nice new bit of kit to play with on lower days – gymlego hip press is one of my all time favourites so base loading is set and it’ll only climb up from here. Without wanting to jinx anything, I’m not carrying any kind of niggles at the moment so it’s looking like this will be a good run.

Upper muscle rounds checked off early this AM – strength holding nicely despite a few weeks of less than ideal recovery due to work. A few more busy weeks and I’ll be back on track with a slightly more normal routine again which I’m looking forward to.

Lower loading in the books early this AM. The gymleco hack is honestly such fun to progress – it’s been a few years since I’ve had a different hack in regularly so this should be interesting to see how my hips and knees hold up. So far so good!

Super busy day today and fortunately a rest day – pretty much at work from 10-10 so very glad for the rest. Steps averaging 12k a day with work at the moment so rest day food is sat at 250C 200P 85F. Lower loading tomorrow evening which I’m looking forward to with the new kit I have access to.

So after a few weeks lacking an update here’s where we’re at:
– New gym opened over in Brighton after about a year of prep and work – honestly most spare nights and days have been spent helping put that place together so this is a huge thing for me and the whole team at Unified Strength.
– Strength is at all time highs especially in upper body work – 60kg dbs for flat pressing are on the horizon which is insane to me.
– BW holding fairly well at 79kg, I’ll run another month or so with food where it’s at and will be running a 8 week tidy up l.
– Split is still exactly the same, just access to a few pieces of new kit has meant a little more variety in my leg work which is never a problem. E.g. Gymleco hack is now in the mix as is the granite x tbjp loaded hyper which is immense. -
I’ve had a crazy busy month since my last update and so I’ve been sparse on the updates since. Training is going fantastically – I’ve had to make amendments here and there to simply fit training in my days for a few weeks here and there but on the whole I’ve taken progressions across the board. All to be expected as BW is creeping up nicely and recovery is surprisingly good considering how busy I’ve been. BW sitting at 78kg or thereabouts.

Upper loading early AM today and a busy day with work for most of the day after. Rest day tomorrow and I’ve somehow been roped into a 5 a side football tournament in the afternoon. I used to play for a team MANY years ago but I haven’t played in some time now so wish me luck.

Lower session yesterday followed by a much needed rest day today. Nothing crazy but doms hit me pretty hard from upper the other day. Upper loading in the books tomorrow and I’m eyeing up some nice loading on DB press for sure.
-
Upper session in a very busy gym this bank holiday but a productive one nonetheless. I saw bodyweight tip into the 78s this morning which is new territory. Not all time new territory but definitely the best 78 has looked on me. Lower going down early AM tomorrow to kick off a busy day and I’m looking forward to it.
-
VERY much needed rest day in the books today which is pretty fortunate because I’ve not had much time to do anything other than work today! Late PM session tomorrow for upper which I’m looking forward to.
-
Lower loading went down a treat this morning – I’m going to need to find some alternative adduction abduction work for lower days because the kit I’ve got access to is pretty limited in terms of loading and ROM so I’ll update that on here once I’ve decided on a better option. Rest day tomorrow is VERY welcome.

Absolutely fantastic upper session in the books this morning. A few changes to my schedule this week meant I had an entire session of just delts and arms this morning which was actually pretty fun. Going from my usual U/L to a more specific split today definitely had me feeling like I did an easier session but numbers were noticeably up from normal which is always fun. Lower loading in the books tomorrow AM
