I am increasing a bit cardio during these weeks, and I couldnt do 2 lower sessions with one day in between of squats, so today was leg press, and looking back its a PR session. I am keeping the RDL in with low weight to keep training the movement but I dont want to tax the lower back as I know it’s a weak point.

I have “finished” my progression with the 30. I will probably go back to my starting weight next session to check how many reps I can do on 4 sets. Then let’s go to 32,5!

Quick session. Happy with the new weight for squats, it’s probably more then 100 kg as I am assuming the bar weights 20 kg but should be a bit more I think. Anyway doesn’t matter much.
Still working light the RDL.

I’ll do a bit more conditioning tomorrow in my upper session.

completely out of energy. I was supposed to do 4 sets with the 30s on the incline bench but the first set felt super heave and I barely got a rep trying to go for a second set. So I switched to lower weight. dips bad too. everything else was just pump.

Christmas week update

I had a solid workout the 18th of December, good full body with good numbers that I didn’t log (and I won’t log now as I can’t remember). After that I flew home for Christmas and got sick.

2 days in bed with a bad fever. Got back on my feet during the week and managed to put in a couple of FB light workouts while recovering.
A lot of food and rest, and a good day on the snow.
Back home (well, my actual “home” now) the 26th ready to get back on track.

I will keep doing my program with some small tweaks.

Day 1 is squat and assistance
Day 2 oryzontal upper and assistance
Day 3 leg press + Rdl and assistance
Day 4 vertical upper and assistance

A solid workout without pushing too much.

Here new photos, I’m not sure if I have more muscle but I’m definitely fatter :rofl:

I’m 5kg heavier and definitely stronger so the progress so far is not too bad:

Bench is improving slowly, but I have all the time I guess.
I am happy to be consistent with my workouts. I will try to have some aerobic focused session at least once a week.
Nutrition wise, I am trying to stay around this weight and “recomp” going further.

not the best session actually, I had a similar workout exactly 1 month ago with better results. A bit tired maybe. Tomorrow no weights and just light cardio will help me recover.
