    Resting today, 101,5 kg this am.

    Check in day today, a day early as we are going to UK tomorrow, coach gave feedback early just so I can prepare for tomorrow’s travel day, he really is awesome.

    Plan of action is to reduce the output rather than increase food, which is totally fine with me. It also fits better in my schedule to walk less especially ok the days I work and have to really put some effort into moving and getting steps in.

    Steps down from 12k to 10k, cardio remains only on push and pull days, as opposed to also doing it kn upler body days.

    Plan here is also to reduce the fatigue on legs as they are super fucked from training them, less cardio will probably do the job.

    Super super excited for tomorrow!!

    Another banger of a session today, Pull B on the menu, empty gym and loud music. Couldn’t ask for much more. Filmed all the top sets and sent them to coach for feedback, still some improvements to make, I struggle the most with back training which shows in my physique, will do my best though to make it a strong point.

    SA cable row x10 x11 x13
    Upper back cable pulldown x10 x12 +RP set
    Smith row x9 x11
    SA pulldown x9 x12
    Upper back cable row x12 x13
    Reverse cable fly x13/x12/x12
    SA cable curl x9/x10/x12+drop

    Legs are totally fucked, I can barely walk down the stairs, will probably need some volume adjustments here.

    Rest day for me today. Much much needed after yesterday’s leg session. It was hard to get up this morning, my legs are fucked. Will definitely get to bed early today and sleep in a bit tomorrow.

    Just a regular day of work today, nothing special. UK trip is coming soon so really looking forward to that.

    101,3 today not much of a jump in weight. I’m however very happy with the current look, never been so tight at this bodyweight.

    Leg day today, doesn’t come around often on the current split so I made sure I burried myself. One of the most intense sessions I’ve ever had. But super super rewarding.

    Adductor x10 x15
    Lying ham curl x9 x11(70% ROM) x11(unilateral)
    Leg extension x15 x12
    Quad bias smith squat x10 x12
    Top-bottom banded leg press x13 x12
    Bulgarian split squat x12 x11
    SL standing ham curl x12 + drop

    I struggled to get down the stairs from the gym and druve myself home, definitely a productive session. Coach is happy with the execution of movements so that means I’m also happy.

    Epic day of training today. Shoulder focused push was on the menu and it was awesome.

    I’ve implemented the feedback I got from coach last week and the session today was completely different to the one previous week. Much better connection with muscles and way better execution. Much more time under tension also, which is MUCH harder than taking slight pauses mid reps that I was doing before. Sent over the session vids to my coach and he was happy, still some things to improve which I will do my best to do just that.

    Session was:

    SA cable Y raise 3x

    Smith OHP 2x + rest pause on first set

    PL incline press 2x

    Upper chest bias cable fly 2x + rest pause on second set

    Behind body laterals 2x

    SA cable pushdown 2x + drop

    DB skull crusher 2x + iso stretch

    101,1 today, slightly down in weight but expected after rest day diet. Fasted BG was 4.6 today, spot on.

    Early work today followed by an Pull 1 session and some more work after.

    Session was long today, spoke to the coach and the volume will probably be reduced slightly as I was just done completely towards the end of the session and focus was totally lost.
    I did

    Assisted pull up 2x
    RDL 2x
    SA pulldown 3x
    SA row 2x + Rest pause
    Upper back pulldown 2x
    Crossbody lat pulldown 1x + lenghtened partials
    DB shrug 2x
    Rear delt row 2x
    DB preacher curl 3x

    Deload rotation done so tomorrow we are going to push on the gas. Pull 1 on the moving also a hinge in there so will definitely be a fire session.

    Rest day for me today. Came up in weight a bit, 101,2 today.

    Today was a real rest day, no work, just eating, steps and chilling. Legs are pretty smashed from yesterday, especially glutes and quads. At such a low frequency now I really have to get the most out of them.

    New rest day macros are
    338p
    427c
    101f

    Quite a bit of fat which really keeps my hunger down, but I can stil get my meals in pretty easily.

    2 more deload session left and I’m jumping to full volume after that.

    Weighted in at 100,9 kg fasted today. Measured my BG and it was 4.6 so happy about that. Coach increased my calories on rest day today, just more fats which I’m not really used to, I can’t remember the last time I ate over 75g of fat a day, but I’m just listening and doing the do.

    Leg day today, feels super weird to not be hitting legs 3 times a week, currently I only hit them once every 8 days. Only half the volume but still, a lot of tempo work and not just moving the weight, so still super super hard.

    Plank 1x AMRAP

    Hanging leg raises 1x AMRAP

    Adductor x20

    Lying ham curl x10

    Leg extension x12

    Quad bias smith squat x8

    Bottom – top banded leg press x16 + quad stretch

    BSS x11

    SL standing ham curl x16 + drop
