Cheers mate.

My head's still really pounding this morning lol

Hey guys, not forgotten about you.

Didn't train yesterday - first missed session since Feb. Head was just really pounding and I thought it'd just be a really bad idea to go in and start squatting.

I'm going in tomorrow, moving my squat session to then. Sposed to be Press according to the routine, but I'm not missing out on my squats for the week! I'll see how the first few sets go as to whether I'll make it a deload or not. If I feel strong then I'll just do a heavy session.

Keeping diet in check. Didn't record my fitday yesterday, but I know I didn't eat much, plus I did a metric fuck-ton of walking.

Got today's meals already planned out.

I shall remember this. It has been (literally) drummed into my head.

Never a bad idea to postpone other lifts for a missing squat session. Good luck.

Good thinking Gazzy, being smart with your training will make sure you can make progress long term.

Thanks Brian. I know my vision starts going blurry anyway when I'm doing 20 reppers, so wouldn't want to risk it with a headache lol. I'd probably pass out!

Nah, knocked some sense into me.

Cheers Luna. Gotta prioritise the big lifts, eh? Squats before presses.

Ta HJ. You know how it is when you just feel like you have an excess of energy and nothing to do with it.

Passing out under a squat bar would not be a good thing, lol.

10x44 (20kg)
6x88 (40kg)

--------------
Summary:

All the weights felt very heavy today. Got under the 220 and thought, good lord this feels heavier than I remember it.

The rep at 286lbs (130kg) felt very heavy, but I felt like I had a little bit more in me.

Tried for 3 plates, but bit off more than I could chew. Laid it down on the rack at the bottom, no hassle, no risk of hurting myself. Don't think I'm going to get this until I'm off my cut.

Felt absolutely shattered by then, but came in wanting to do 20 reppers, so 20 reppers I did.

Diet Stats:

Impressive session. Big singles and finishing with 20 reppers. My favorite.

Cheers OR. Felt really heavy, but glad I got through it.

Aching all over now. Think I've pretty much depleted whatever excess energy I had left over when I started my cut. Running on reserves now, haha! Hopefully that means some big physique changes are a-coming.

Good squat session.

[Coke]

Stellar day with the squats guy.

[NickAus]

Good own you for giving 3 pps a crack!!

You will go well past it in time...make sure your gut is FULL of air, this will help you out of the hole and with stability.

[Brian Hopper]

I've seen alot of people black out from pulling though, and it's funny and scary at the same time...lol.

Thanks Nick. I'm not worried - I know that lifting is a long-haul game. I'm happy just to maintain my strength for the next few weeks whilst cutting. Soon as I start eating again I know the PRs'll come flying in.

I bet! My girlfriend was training with me - I said to her before I tried for 3pps 'If I fall over, don't worry!' Haha!
