Big Jez' Training Log

You might have to see a pro for that one. When my SI joint is off the chiro usually pushes on the joint (usually down) to fix it. I don’t really feel anything pop or move though. I wouldn’t try that adjustment on my own.

For lumbar spine adjustments I lie on the bed or couch and throw my leg to the side (like an iron cross position). Being on an elevated surface allows my foot to drop lower and sometimes it’s those extra few inches that make the difference in getting the release (pop).

Nice work mate, you gotta eat if you wanna make SHW. I cooked up beef ribs yesterday and ate so many I though I was going into a meat coma. Had leftovers at work today as well as a plate of spaghetti bolognese. Got home tonight and misses had made a chicken curry laksa. I must have added half a kilo in the last 2 days. Lol

Just enjoying the feeling of lay-by’d body goals is good
Slow mass gain, and when I start the cut Ill be happy with whats underneath
Are you tracking macros?

Not really tracking macros, whenever I have tried it lasts about 2 weeks and I get bored. As long as I get my protein everyday and most meals have some carbs, fats and veggies I’m happy. If the weight doesn’t come then I add more carbs. I eat the same meals for breakfast and 2 lunches every day (boring I know) it’s really only dinner that changes depending on what the wife cooks. That. Makes it easier for my to add or take away carbs as I need to. It’s not exactly scientific but it’s worked for me before.

You definitely get used to it. I still hate squatting in the mornings though.

Day 2
Woke 124.7kg (going down wtffff) haha
Light mobility work, did back and quads this morning, in prep for heavy legs tonight

I find it downright painful. I think it has to do with the spinal fluid going back into the discs at night. I’m trying to exercise with full, stiff discs of I go early in the morning. It doesn’t feel good and it’s more of a risk than usual.
