On purpose?

Absolutely on purpose, yes.
Got unnecessarily chunky, so if strength is going on a slow simmer, it makes sense to slowly cut some of the flub away.

Good on ya!
Iāve made it a habit of checking these things before I make assumptions. Especially if I read about excessive stress.
Just like Iām never going to comment on someoneās weight loss or physique change if Iām not 100% sure that it was desired.

I cut calories drastically while I wasnāt able to train much, Iāve since increased them and am training a bit more. If I find time to train more, Iāll increase them further, but I canāt justify being in a calorie surplus when Iām only training twice a week.

Youāre real close to the āhumane burpeeā here, if youāre looking to mix things up

Iāve done that one a few times, I like it until I start getting too clever with itā¦

Work for today:
TBDL (ss. BPAs):
5 X 3 @ 112.5kg
Press:
1 @ 70kg
Row:
1 double rest pause @ 70kg
Run:
30mins
Notes:
- Got called away right after warm up, so had to cut out most of the āextraā I had planned
- Press was a spur of the moment decision because the bar was loaded and right there. Very pleased with that. Equalled a PR with no warm up, prep sets or fuss. Went up pretty easily too, barely cracked a 1 on the Simo scale.
- Run was fine. Intervals again, but pushed the pace on them, especially the last one.

Nice press - that really did not take you long to get back to 70 
And pretty casual too. I was literally in there deadlifting, saw the bar ready loaded and was like āwell letās do thatā

100 burpees.
One of my colleagues has been moaning she was suffering crippling DOMs from doing 20 burpees so I didnāt really have a choice.

Iāve done this twice. Once it took about 6 mins. That was shit.
The next time I think Iām still doing. I started doing 10 sets of 10 about 8 months back. I got a set or two in and gave up.
So technically I could still finish the last 7 sets and claim it.

@carlbm I just need some form of Cardio and/or conditioning that I can do inside with minimal equipment as itās now British winter and I no longer have a gym membership. Sadly, burpees fit that bill.
Work for today:
Front squat (ss. BPAs):
5 x 5 @ 80kg
Press (ss. Pull ups):
5 x 20kg
5 x 30kg
5 x 40kg
5 x 50kg
8 x 55kg
5 x 10 @ 42.5kg
Notes:
- Rainy and shit today. Not ideal in an open garage. Got the job done though. Will be glad when these 5 x 10s are over.

Great work! Itās cool to see you keep after it despite all the life stress!
How is that different from normal British weather?
Itās not. That is normal British weather. Weāve just come out of āBritish summerā, where it stops raining for several weeks though, so itās a bit of a shock I think.
Not going to lie, my life isnāt all that stressful. Only one big external stressor right now and thatās not currently causing me a lot of grief, just an element of concern until we get the all clear. All the āstressā or angst or whatever you want to call it is totally internal.
I hear that dude. Burpees in the front room. Not sexy, not glamorous but effective. And indoors!
Where are you based? In between Brighton and Eastbourne right?
